Ask Gator 13 13

[The_Investor]

When I cross the boarder to come back to Canada they will ask me if I bought anything and to declare the price so that they can tax me(import fees). If I do not declare the purchase I may get away with it unless they check my bags and then I'm fried.

[The_Investor]

Anything over $60 Canadians pay taxes on.

[Mmehdy]

Well at least you save sales tax.., but that is one of the best books to buy out there now besides cap 1... Any fees you pay will be made up down the road especially in the next two years.

Anything over $60 Canadians pay taxes on.

 

It is anything over $20 Canadian, so $16US, a lot of times anything under $60US is not touched, but they can tax you on a $16 item.

Living in Canada, any book crossing from the USA hurts due to the customs fees. We Canadians not only have to pay a 31-37 percent exchange rate but also get hit with another 15 percent customs fee!

 

As a fellow Canadian, my suggestion is that on a book that is "investment worthy" like you are seeking, better to do everything above board. Also, anything you are selling/trading as you refered to, would also be in US dollars, keep the funds in US and put towards your purchase.

 

The exchange rate (20-25) would only be on the amount above and beyond what you bring in for your books. Paying full customs is required if you are going to have full insurance on the book. Really high value stuff, you dont want to be messing around with fraud in case something goes wrong during shipping.

Good point CBT !
