[QUOTE="SladeX, post: 197875, member: 5972"] I think you guys need to relax a bit, here in Ottawa, a ton of people go down to Ogdensburg, about 45 min drive down to pick up US items all the time. Some people declare, some people don't, while you can get punished, they aren't too overly detailed that they'd go through your e-mail or have you login to every CC you own. My last few sets of tires, I've since got a local guy who does all the importing and matches tirerack pricing and install to save me the day trip. On the US side, a small UPS store has made a business of it from all the traffic. I personally grab parts all the time, you are good to declare up to $200 with a clean pass on a day trip, up to $800 for 48 hours. Per person. [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.trackogdensburg.com/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://travel.gc.ca/returning/customs/bringing-to-canada/personal-exemptions-mini-guide[/URL] Key things to do, don't lie about the time you have spent in the US, be honest to a degree about your trip (say you bought for personal reasons, not commercial), always declare something if that's what you told the us border guards and be consistent with your story to both US and Canada. The border is more concerned with illicit illegal crap, exploitation, illegal aliens, human trafficking etc than bothering your everyday citizen who wanted to save some cash on tires. [/QUOTE]
