The text explains how taxes and excise duties were handled, including the bond and landing-certificate conditions, and why fraudulent certificates enabled rum runners to evade obligations. It compares wholesale and retail value differences in the American bootlegging market, and cites enforcement figures from the Detroit border and broader estimates of seizure rates.

LIQUORCROSSINGTHEBORDER\n\nPrepared by the  \n# ASSOCIATION AGAINST THEPROHIBITION AMENDMENT\n\nNATIONAL PRESS BUILDINGWASHINGTON,D.C.  \nResearch DepartmentJOHN C.GEBHART,Director  \nPublished July,1929  \ne.  \nCanada Liquor Crossing the Border  \nThe United States is Canada's best cus-tomer for liquor.The latest official reportsshow that practically ninety per cent of Can-ada's export liquor is destined for the UnitedStates.During the year 1927,$23,772,829worth of Canadian liquor was officiallycleared for export to the United States.Tothis should be added_foreign liquors,chieflyScotch whiskeys and French wines and cham-pagnes,which were re-exported by way ofCanada to the United States.The re-exportliquor destined for the United States last yearwas valued at $7,439,741.In other words,the annual exports of liquor from Canada tothe United States now total well over$30,000,000.  \nThe procedure by which Canadian,liquorsare exported through official channels to theUnited States is fairly simple.According tothe Canadian Customs Law,any article ofcommerce which is not forbidden by theCanadian laws may be exported without re-gard to port of entry,provided all duties,ex-cise and sales tax are paid.Most of theliquor which has been sent through officialchannels to the United States has been clearedfor export by the payment of all taxes.  \nThe Canadian law also provides thatliquor can be exported without the paymentof the excise duties on the following condi-tions:The exporter must furnish theCanadian Customs Department with a bondequivalent to twice the value of all duties andexcise taxes,from which he can be releasedonly by the presentation to the Canadian of-ficials of a landing certificate,indicating thatthe liquors had been successfully landed andaccepted at their destined port.Obviously,no such landing certificate could be secured inthe United States.It was found,however,that rum'runners were taking liquor out ofbond for shipment to ports in Cuba andMexico.Much of this liquor was actuallysmuggled into the United States but the rumrunners presented fraudulent landing certifi-cates and were released from their bonds and  \nfrom the payment of the excise taxes.Thefraudulent evasion of the excise taxes gavethe rum runner a wider margin of proft forhis goods.The Canadian offcials have takensteps which have apparently put a stop to thispractice.  \nRetail Value of Smuggled Liquor  \nThe values given for the liquors exportedto the United States are the wholesale pricespaid to Canadian distillers,plus the exciseduties which must be paid before the liquoris released.It is obvious that there is a widemargin between the wholesale value of thisliquor and the retail price when delivered andsold in,the American market.The averagewholesale price of Canadian made spirits,in-cluding the excise and sales tax,is $16.20 anImperial gallon.The bootlegger's price forthis liquor in the United States averages about$110 a case,containing approximately 2 Im-perial gallons,or at an average price of $55an Imperial gallon.The average wholesaleprice of foreign spirits,Scotch whiskey andEnglish gin,is $21.42 an Imperial gallon.The well known brands of foreign liquorsbring a much higher price in the Americanmarket than Canadian made liquors.Foreignwi","cbCait0o1YOslnjo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCait0o1YOslnjo","pdf",1238791,21,"English","# Canada Liquor Crossing the Border\n## Official export procedure under Canadian customs
