To be safe, look up the Canada Customs site.
If you're over I think you have to pay provicial sales tax and GST
If you have extra booze they take it away from you. :(
Keep reciepts for things you are going to admit to buying down there and burn all the reciepts for stuff you didn't buy down there.
PS... I don't need a reciept for that filter.

A little 'off road' drive to get them all dirty and who'* to know.
I know they upped the limit a few years ago, but they still don't like non-emergency repairs or modifications for some reason. :(

Too bad you ain't driving a 92-99. There are a few spots you can hide stuff...
Like the center console...the, uh, "trap door" to the a/c duct is a good spot to hide a small bottle of alky

Ya ya ya.....rip the car apart....
I'm not going to hide anything and have all my receipts so I have nothing to worry about.
The limit after 7 days.......I will have been down here for 12.......is $750.
I am not going to claim the tires or the new lamb seat covers.
.....or the turn signal multifunction stalk.......or the company magnetic advertising labels.
I will still have about $650 to claim.
That includes the $50 K&N Air Filter for a fellow member who PM'd me for it from close to where I live. We pay $100 for them minimum.
And I will only be bringing the bottle of Anejo Patron.
Guess John and Shadd will get the wine...........and Bill can keep what'* left of the his well stocked bar.
Just got another PM from my son......he wants new runners, jeans,.........
I can't believe the low prices down here.
......I'm like a kid in a candy store.
