I'm going back for a weeks trip to visit family soon, and have a suitcase filled with gifts. I actually didn't have to spend too much, as it was all on sale at this time of the year, and I have kept all the receipts. Does anyone know how much I am allowed to take back through customs, and is it the same as if I were still resident in the UK, or now that I am a PR in Canada, is it different.
Hope I am making sense! Just trying to avoid having to pay a vast amount of duty on gifts for 12 different people!
Thanks

£300 worth of gifts.

Ta very much,....That's quite a bit more than I remember. I should be ok then, as I haven't quite reached $500 on pressies....yet!

But don't wrap them up - I've been made to open kids christmas pressies up in the past and it's a real hassle!

Thanks seaham girl...I remembered that bit from a similar experience, so will take the gift bags with me. I've even remembered to leave the price tags on till I get to the other end.
Excited to see everyone as I've not been back for a couple of years, and also excited to fill up my, by then, empty suitcase, with goodies from M&S!!!

FYI, coming back you're allowed $750CAD of stuff if you've been away for 7 days or more,

Should be able to get quite a few pairs of M&S knickers for that!
Thanks
Sally
