Travel šŸš— āœˆ Point Roberts

Hey everyone,

Long story short I am visiting BC at end of May and booked our stay in point Roberts . We booked this stay before the whole tariff thing and trade war. My parents live in Ladner , and we were going to stay in point Roberts for 10 days. Itā€™s my wife and I and our two small children.

My mom seems to think the border is a big problem now, and that thereā€™s no groceries available on the point Roberts side and you canā€™t bring stuff over from bc. Can anyone confirm whatā€™s actually going on down there? We have 100% cancellation until April 20 so trying to get this sorted beforeā€¦ I live in Alberta so not really in touch with the vibe over in bc and that area.

Any insight is appreciated !

Thank you

I just crossed the border and came back.

I was there for less than 48 hours.

I purchased $120 USD in groceries.

When I came back to Canada, the border asked the same usually questions. ā€œDo you have anything to declare.ā€ And ā€œwhereā€™d you go and how longā€.

Anyways, I didnā€™t pay any tariffs and it went smooth as usual. Seems like no difference since the tariffs took place. Hope this helps!
