How much in goods can I bring back from the states to Canada duty free?

[Sailz]

I go down just about every weekend but this upcoming weekend im bringing back alot of goods I ordered online and was wondering if anyone knew the dollar amount for goods being brought into canada purchased in the states per person. I cant find a link to it for the life of me.

Thanks

Depends on how long you are away from Canada.

If you are away for:
24hours you are allowed $50 CAD
48hours you are allowed $200 CAD
7days you are allowed $750

Anything over those amounts will be taxed.

You can see the Declaration form here

Lol yeah I would but tucking $2500 in paintball equipment into my shirt isnt very easy.

When the new Federal Budget was announced, they raised the limit for the 48 hour period from $200 to $400.

Yes that’s rite.

When I went down for a weekend and brought back a car, they actually gave me a $400 credit towards my taxes because I didn’t buy anything other than the car...

With the exchange rate the way it is, duty free is the motherfuckin tits!

I bought a 1L bottle of 18 year old Glennfiddich single malt scotch for $50USD :eek: The same thing in Calgary would cost $120!

So it's $400 now, is this per person? If 2 people are in the vehicle, would it be $800?

ahh there is nothing as good as cross the boarder shopping..

I freaking love duty free! I get all my perfume there. Great deals on jewelry but you have to know your stuff. Duty Free in Detroit is the best!
