Re: shopping in US - taxes and duty?

Thanks very much for your replies. It sounds like it's worth giving it a try. I was alarmed because I read online that if you are out of the country for less than 24 hours you have to pay duty on...

shopping in US - taxes and duty?

For those of you who pop over the border to do grocery shopping - do you normally have to pay duty and taxes on all the goods you bring back in? How much is the duty on groceries? Does it still work...

Re: Husband on TWP - what do we need?

Re: What to take and what to sell?

Don't forget Freecycle. You can probably give away most of your stuff on Freecycle here and furnish your house from Freecycle there! :)
