Duties At The Border

[sputnik]

I am planning to go to Manhattan for a couple of weeks in July and I know my personal exemption is $750CAD. However if I go over that, does anyone know what the rates are for duty for specific items... such as:

- Car Parts
- Clothing
- Jewellery
- Electronics

there are two things to consider.

1. Where they are made.
2. What they are.

Clothing made anywhere but US and Mex is 6% I think.

I think that everything else is dependant on what it is, meaning is it a fender, a turbo, etc... they all might have diff rates.

Mexican or US automotive parts fall under NAFTA and are only subject to GST.

Assuming everything is US made.

Assuming it is all made in the US, I am pretty sure that you only have to pay GST given everything should fall under NAFTA.
