Default Items I'm taking into Canada list:

Hi folks- another question! Sorry!
48 hours till we fly so just tying up a few odds and ends.
Now that all of our packing is complete I'm now writing up a list of everything that we are taking into the country on Wednesday and goods to follow.
We are coming in on a TWP so I'm aware I need to produce a list of everything that I already own that I'm bringing in to the country that will again be removed from the country when we leave- so I don't have to pay duty on the things I bring in.
I have been told as well as simply writing a list (and to have several copies) I also need to write the value of items?
This part I'm finding difficult as technically a lot of what we're bringing in isn't actually worth anything really! Do I put what it would cost to buy me new for example? Or do I simply write down what I THINK they're worth? I mean- If that's the case I feel like it's just a case of plucking a number out of the sky. Unless I'm talking about bringing hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of things into the country does it really matter what I put?
For example, the list is looking something like this:
Clothing
Footwear
Towels
Books
Kitchen crockery
Etc etc.
You get the idea- but what on earth do I put for value?

Thanks for your help!!

Just put an estimated value i.e. clothing 500 pounds, books 250 pounds etc etc.

Awesome! Once again, thank you for your help!
I've just set it out in a table- items on one side and 'estimated value' written on the other.

Thanks again!! :-)

If you haven't found it already, there's a wiki article on Goods to Follow (and Goods Accompanying) that includes an example of previous ones, it'll help put your mind at ease.
