Re: New trade agreement 150 dollars allowed per transaction!
I buy stuff from the US all the time and bring it over in my car at Peach Arch or the Truck Crossing and unless it's over $200 they don't even bat an eye. They rarely ask for receipts either. They're WAY more worried about cigarettes or booze than some Transformers or video games or whatever.
90% of exchanges back into Canada:
Border officer: Where's home?
Me: Surrey
B: How long were you gone?
M: A half hour.
B: Bringing anything back?
M: Two Transformer toys.
B: Value of goods?
M: Seventy bucks
B: Any alcohol or tobacco?
M: No
B: Have a good day.
If I go during the work day I sometimes get asked why I'm not at work. I just answer "day off".
I've only been asked for a receipt once in the past 5 years or so.
