    Default Personal exemption allowance and NAFTA goods?

    There's a $800 limit for goods for stays "not less than 48 hours" outside of Canada, I get that.

    But does this apply to NAFTA goods as well?

    I understand NAFTA goods means that you dont have to pay duty on them, but how does it work with the personal exemption allowance?

    I can't really seem to decipher this from any CBSA websites...

    Personal Exemption link:
    http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publicati...2-3-1-eng.html

    Tariff Schedules:
    http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/trade-com...od-03-eng.html

    Basically I want to do a day trip, bring back $3000 worth of goods that are made in North America. If they cant charge duty on NAFTA goods, does this mean that the overage is allowed?

    Showed them the receipts and the total excluding shipping and that's what I paid the tax on...easy process and I do it a lot.

    Same here, gone less than an hour and brought back ~$1000 worth of exempt goods. Just had to declare that they were manufactured in the US, but they can ask to see country of origin information.
