Just curious: going to be maybe going into the US in February and might possibly bring a few tins back to Canada with me. I'm wondering - is the provincial tax calculated on the land border you use - ie. Ontario or Quebec, or is it based upon your province of residence? (That is IF I pay duty to begin with).

Yeah, I know about the 48 hours. This time I'm going to be passing through. For two or three tins they might just let me through versus doing all the paperwork for it, (I know my father often brings me microbrewery beer from Upstate NY and declared, he never pays duty on that little. But this time I'll be crossing in Ontario and I know the duty on tobacco is higher there than in Quebec. At the very worst, the cost comes out even with what I'd pay in Canada - if I find some bargains, I could pay less.
