本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Canadian cross border shoppers received some good news in last week's federal budget.

Starting on June 1, 2012, duty free limits for cross border shoppers will increase as follows:

for trips of more than 24 hours and less that 48 hours, the duty free allowance will increase from the current limit of $50 to $200.
for trips of more than 48 hours but less than 7 days, the duty free allowance will increase from the current limit of $400 to $800.
for trips of more than 7 days, the duty free limit will increase by $50, from the current limit of $750 to $800.
duty free limits for tobacco and alcohol will remain unchanged.

While cross border shoppers will certainly welcome these duty free limit increases, there was one notable omission in the budget that is sure to disappoint Canadians living near the U.S. border: a same-day duty free allowance for short-term shopping trips of less than 24 hours.

With Canadians making more than 25 million same day car trips to the U.S. in 2011, such an exemption would have made the most sense for the majority of Canadians, while also significantly reducing the burden on Canadian border service agents who currently waste a significant amount of time stopping, questioning, searching and collecting duties from same-day shoppers. Americans currently are entitled to a same-day $200 duty free allowance, while Canadians are not allowed to bring anything back to Canada duty free for trips of less than 24 hours.

Let's hope next year's budget takes this into account and finally introduces a long overdue same day duty free allowance for Canadians.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

6.1 开始，额度增加了。 -wantobemom(妈妈咪); 2012-4-22 (#7455739@0)

是正式通过了？谢谢。 -brownsbay(松柏常青); 2012-4-22 (#7455850@0)

我觉得这得分人，曾遇到一个好的，买了四五百也放行，有一次才买了一百多，也要进去交税。 -wantobemom(妈妈咪); 2012-4-23 (#7456641@0)

其实关于额度，并没有很严格。 -xiaoke(小珂); 2012-4-23 (#7456347@0)

那是你没遇上。。。我遇上过一次，恨不得轮子给我拆了检查。偏偏那一次，我们４个人全加上还没买到１００。 -ashura(碧落); 2012-4-23 (#7456496@0)

"４个人全加上还没买到１００"？ Sounds too unreasonable.... -super_eleman(Super Eleman); 2012-4-23 (#7456550@0)

是啊，就是什么都没看上。。。 -ashura(碧落); 2012-4-23 (#7456716@0)

看来我运气好。我去过几次，都没有查，有一次是回国前，买了1400美金的东西，他们问我干什么去了，我都老老实实回答购物。问我买什么了，我说衣服和电器。就一挥手让我过了。 -xiaoke(小珂); 2012-4-23 (#7457752@0)

看当班的心情了。朋友也有被查的，更亏。忍受不了诱惑买了一箱啤酒，结果加上税，比这里还贵。 -ashura(碧落); 2012-4-23 (#7457795@0)

我的经验是，平均3-4 次会交一次税 lewiston 最严，peace bridge 最松 -chliul(no name); 2012-4-26 (#7469325@0)

也在密市，很想去但刚发现护照过期了。不过还想八卦一下，人招集全了吗？:p -yueren(有一说一); 2012-4-24 (#7460855@0)

I am going there too. :-) and I will drive. -criss(criss); 2012-4-25 (#7463470@0)

到不是我想开车，因为我要去好几个地方办其他事，不方便搭别人的车， -chliul(no name); 2012-4-25 (#7464717@0)

哦，那你把搭车的人放下再自己办事？ -criss(criss); 2012-4-25 (#7465293@0)

活雷锋 -jessicalu(知是故人来); 2012-4-25 (#7465395@0)
就是这样子，到了地方，定好时间，大家自己分头 shopping。上个月去算我 6个人, 结果分了4组，人多不可能一起溜。很巧，还有两位和我去CBI USA 取东西 -chliul(no name); 2012-4-26 {60} (#7466424@0)

这个帖子是上个月发的了，现在突然出现在眼前，以为又有人在招呼着，煞是兴奋了一下。我上次没成行是因为突然发现护照过期了，赶紧办了新的，正等着有人上来吆喝呢。表错情ing... -yueren(有一说一); 2012-5-24 (#7540032@0)
