Expanded response to U.S. tariffs

The BC Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) is taking further action as part of the provincial and federal government response to the U.S. tariffs.

Following the Government of B.C.’s directive announced this morning, effective immediately, the LDB is halting the importation of all U.S.-made liquor products.

BCLIQUOR (BCL) stores are immediately halting the retail sale and removing from store shelves all U.S.-made liquor products.  

These impacted products will continue to be available for purchase through LDB wholesale distribution channels until existing inventory in British Columbia sells through.  

This means, private liquor stores, restaurants, bars and pubs will continue to be able to order U.S.-made liquor products from existing inventory already in the province, while it lasts, including inventory in third-party warehouses.

A list of U.S.-made liquor products, as well as a list of Canadian-made liquor products is available for reference here: https://wholesale.bcldb.com/resources/product-information.

Please note the wholesale returns policy will continue to apply for all returns requests. It is posted on the LDB Wholesale Operations website here.
