I found this but it leaves it open for interpretertation (sp?)
Who is eligible for these exemptions?
You are eligible for a personal exemption if you are one of the following:
- a Canadian resident returning from a trip outside Canada;
- a former resident of Canada returning to live in this country; or
- a temporary resident of Canada returning from a trip outside Canada.
Even young children and infants are entitled to a personal exemption. As a parent or guardian, you can make a declaration to the CBSA for a child as long as the goods you are declaring are for the child's use.
So reading this, could I potentially say that the 55" tv is for my daughter to watch Cartoons on, and the furniture is so she can sit on it to watch the TV? or would you think that's stretching it?
I don't want to get to the border and owe another $1000.00 after my purchase
