A driver entering Canada has learned the hard way that failing to declare goods may have steep consequences.
Few details have been released, but the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced on Wednesday a recent seizure at the Ambassador Bridge.
Roughly $23,000 worth of undeclared nicotine vaping products were confiscated from the driver.
The driver was slapped with a $21,000 fine, according to the CBSA.
There was no word on when the seizure took place or if the driver was sent back to the U.S.
The CBSA has reminded border commuters that tobacco and vaping products may be brought over, but they must be declared.
"Non-residents and temporary residents must declare all alcohol, tobacco, and vaping products they have with them when they enter Canada," read a webpage from the CBSA's official website. "If you are a non-resident or temporary resident declaring these products at the border, you must meet minimum age requirements and respect the limits on quantities you can bring in. You may also have to pay duties and taxes on these products."
