I have been perusing the Canadian government websites as to what amount one can bring in. I understand the duty free limits.
But I am confused by the available info as to what happens if I bring in amounts that exceed the duty free limits.
If one has excess, does Customs confiscate the excess or all?
Or can one declare the excess, pay duty on it and keep it?
If one can declare, pay and keep, how can one know in advance what the duty might be?
The duty free limits are just not going to last this boy for the time we will be in Canada. Yes, I understand that one can buy what's needed in Canada, and will probably do that, but I still want to know the answers.
