As announced yesterday, the Government of B.C. has directed the BC Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) to resume normal operations following the announcement that U.S. tariffs will be put on hold.
This means that the LDB will resume normal wholesale operations, beginning 1 p.m., February 4, 2025.
Accordingly, all U.S.-made liquor products, including those manufactured in states governed by Republican leadership, will be available for import and sale throughout the wholesale supply chain. This includes those products under the brands of Jack Daniels Whiskey, Bacardi Rum, Tito’s Vodka, Jim Beam Whiskey, and Bulleit Bourbon.
Please visit the LDB Wholesale Operations website for the latest updates.
If you have any questions about how this affects any import purchase orders, please contact ldbagentinfo@bcldb.com or call 604-252-8700.
If you have questions about a wholesale or hospitality customer order, contact the Wholesale Customer Centre at: wholesalehelp@bcldb.com or

Thank you for appreciating the need to support a united front in response to the threat of U.S. tariffs, and for your understanding as we work to resume normal operations.
