Duty Border

Cross-Border shopping - hidden duty, fees at border?
I'm a Canadian, who is going to be shopping for 1 day in Buffalo, New York.
I'm wondering what kind of duty/taxes or other fees I will have to pay when returning back into Canada. Are they very picky about what you're bringing back? I plan to buy only clothing and am looking to spend AT MOST five hundred dollars. Can I expect to pay a lot more on top of that at the border coming back into Canada?
Hi.
I live in Windsor, and cross the Windsor - Detroit border frequently for shopping.
With the implementation of NAFTA (North American free trade agreement) duty has almost been completely eliminated. For clothes I believe they are mostly duty-free (depending on materials they are made from, cotton, etc.), and I don't believe they are going to break down your $500.00 clothing bill into categories to determine duty. They might ask you the most expensive item you purchased (maybe you bought a coat for $200.00 for example) but generally speaking they do not bother much about clothes.
You will have to pay tax. I believe it's just the PST that they charge, not GST. It's one or the other but not both. In Ontario, PST is 8%, GST 5%, so you can figure that into what you spend.
There are certain things you cannot bring back on a one-day trip. Alcohol, cigarettes, etc. require a stay of at least 48 hours. Actually, I shouldn't say you can't bring them back; you can, but you will pay duty on these kind of items for a 1 day crossing. Not sure what the duty would be, so it may not be worth it for those kind of things.
Have fun. Just keep your receipts, be honest, answer their questions, and you shouldn't have any problems.

| | Terror on the Border $23.43 Mexican Cartels have for many years been active on this side of the Mexico/Texas border in drug and human trafficking, but are now often shielded by socalled legitimate businesses. Terror on the Border vividly illustrates this growing problem. An innocent Mexican girl, Juanita Delgado, a victim of human trafficking, and her flawed exsniper American husband, facially disfigured in Iraq, heroically fight the malicious leaders of the Lobos cartel, led by egotistical Hernan Cortez and his evil enforcer, Manuela. The exploits begin when Juanitas North American cousin, a Border Patrol Officer, Orlando Delgado, is kidnapped by the Lobos while on duty. He and Juanita, also taken hostage, manage to escape a torture chamber, only to face a fierce battle at Uncle Joseph Delgados ranch on U.S. soil near Laredo, a horrid kidnapping in Dallas posh Highland Park, and more bloody confrontations on and near the border. She and Orlando are joined in the struggle by her brave soldier husband and two Dallas private detectives. The twists and turns of Terror on the Border will rivet your attention as you learn more about the real nature of the evil cartels that have expanded into the U.S. Author: Hunt, E.

Call of Duty 4 BORDER PATROL with Guide and Tips
Does anyone have a friend or loved one who is doing National Guard duty on the border?
If so..........have they given you any input into results of their presence? Do they feel they are a doing a GREAT service for the USA?
We recently found out a great friend was sent.........he left a job that paid over 80 grand to do his time. I want to hear your comments BEFORE I post "HIS" comments.
DAR........
Left his fleet supervisor job for his NG duty. He has gained 30 pounds, reported ONE sighting and is actually becoming sympathetic to the "plight". He hasn't sent the details of his "day to day" as I just found out 2 days ago he was gone (I am a bad friend) but his quick email was one of feeling "inadequate". That is where I was going with the question.......how many others feel they could be doing more.......HE DOES!
I am reporting you to the FBI
