crossing the border with used goods

[hillegom]

I agree with Dolf and the others, declare what you actually paid and pay your gst and pst. I have never had to pay duties.
I know of a guy, 25 yrs ago, that bought 4 new tires in the states, mounted them there and smuggled them across. Unfortunately, he bragged about them to his friends. I guess he talked once too often, and someone else must have overheard. They came to his house, and then he HAD to pay. More than he would have paid to buy the tires in Can.
