Value Limitations
16. If an article meets all the conditions of tariff item No. 9805.00.00 but its value for duty exceeds $10,000, it is not classified under tariff item No. 9805.00.00. Instead, section 84 of the Customs Tariff applies and the article is classified under Chapters 1 to 97 of the Customs Tariff, and its value for duty is reduced by $10,000. Duties therefore apply only to the portion of the value that exceeds $10,000.

This is for former residents of Canada coming back to establish a residence.
It is not to be confused with the returning residents exemptions who are living in Canada i.e. the 48 hr and 7 day exemptions.
