There is no duty on photo equipment from the states, just GST which is now only 6% (whoopdy f..ck'n doo) and possibly PST.

The local boot sale had better look out (that's if I can pry away all the kids toys that they don't play with - which is most of them!).
Okay, anything I really SHOULD bring (apart from the clothes, papers and photos) that maybe isn't obvious now but would be a pain in the derriere to replace......

Hey,
Anyone have experience bringing a TV? Ours is just new & PAL/NTSC? Just that the kids have both a North American & UK PS2 and games for both, plus our VCR is PAL/NTSC & the DVD is PAL/NTSC & Region Free, so we would be able to play all out old stuff from here & probably most Canadian stuff as well.

ANY chocolate's good, any vino (dry, white) is good and aaaaah bisto - I'm a bit worried about customs though; what would they make of all those wee granules.....

...I don't think they'll be too concerned, they probably won't look anyway :scared: afterall when we have family over they bring us that kinda stuff and they never declare the illegal bisto.
