48-Hour travellers exemption increases to $400
Budget 2007 proposes to increase the travellers exemption to $400 from $200 for returning Canadian residents who are out of the country for 48 hours or more. Increasing the 48-hour exemption will make it more convenient for travellers to clear customs and will reduce the amount of processing at the border.
The new exemption, to be given effect by amendments to the Customs Tariff and the Excise Tax Act, will be effective in respect of travellers returning to Canada on or after March 20, 2007.
The dollar limits that apply to the 24-hour and 7-day duty- and tax-free exemptions will remain unchanged at $50 and $750 respectively. Volume and quantity limits on alcohol and tobacco products also remain unchanged.
