Reid's gins and liqueurs are Canadian spirits under HTS 2208.50.00 and 2208.70.00, which carried a 50% US duty from August 22, 2026 and, since September 29, 2026, can no longer be imported into the United States at all. Owner Calvin Reid told The Globe and Mail in July 2026 that the distillery has been growing in Ontario, where its LCBO listings rose from four products to 12 in a year.
You must be of legal drinking age in your province to buy alcohol. Rules on shipping alcohol between provinces vary, so buy from the maker directly or through your provincial liquor store. We only link to makers; nothing is sold on this site.
