So, if you bring back $500, and at least $100 of it was manufactured within NAFTA, you will owe $6 for GST, ad possibly $3-5 for duty.

Which means that $1400 TV- if it was assembled in Mexico you will have to pay $60 to bring it back across.

Yeah, or you could just take 1 and divide it by whatever number they give.
