$1400 is pretty much guaranteed to pay taxes. Crossing twice wouldn't make much difference as your technical tax free for same day trip is 0... officers have some leniency, but even at $700 is way too much to just wave you through... you'd have to be lucky enough to have one in REALLY GOOD mood.

Granted... crossing twice a day isn't a problem. I've had the unfortunate to leave my cell at the buffet once and had to drive all the way back as soon as I got home. Just told them what happened and I was on my way.

i'll just grab the two that add up to like $240 tomorrow.

the $900 i'll leave till the Feb long weekend. we were planning on going somewhere in the states for the weekend so that'll give me the 48hrs i need for $800 then i'll be fine

^

Dude your math... $900+usd is a lot more than $800cdn

That said, for the first $300 above and beyond the $800 limit it’s only a 7% special duty charge for 48hrs+

And if you have more than 1 person you each have the exemption so you can say part of it belongs to that person too...

i would be careful declaring it under a passenger
they can ask your passenger which car parts/a car or mechanical related question/other curve ball questions and they better not stumble

yes my point was there will be two of us, so $1600 Cdn



so i went down on sat to pick up some parts. asked the customs chick, she basically told me had i brought up the $900 part, because my wife was with me she probably would have let me go....oh well better not to risk it.


for parts made in canada/US what is the tax charge? just 12%?

the problem is, though that one CBSA agent may have let you through, there are probably dozens that wouldn't. it's totally discretionary.

Finally got my conditional approval for nexus renew. But I, can't seem to book anything in lower mainland area.. Anyone else have this issue?? Took 8 months wait..

Just book for the Blaine location, so much quicker.

Must have been an issue when I looked when I posted yesterday but I checked last night and there was Vancouver bookings again. I'm not in a rush because I prob won't travel this year so I made my appointment for july

is that a new app or renewal?

expired renewal (took 7 months) didn't require interview, just said it'll be mailed out

Expired renewel. I applied 2 weeks after it expired. Weird that I got a interview then....

interviews during renewal process are randomly chosen.

How long in advance can renewal be applied now?

I still have 1+ year before expiration, but seeing all the comments here that renewal is taking 6+mth, I am thinking to get the renewal underway pretty much as soon as I am qualified to avoid any potential delay.

1 year from your expiry aka your birthday. It took me around 1 month to submit my renewal and have my interview.

they recommended 6mos before expiry like a passport
you can use printout of application payment with expired nexus while you await renewal

Finally got my approval!! Took 8 months just to renew lol.

Renewed end of February. Got approved today. No interview needed. Total turn around time less than 2.5 weeks. Just have to wait for the card to come in the mail now, not that I'm travelling to the States anytime soon....

Damn, lucky

I'm still waiting for mine, sent renewal in October...

Same here, not that I'm in a hurry now.......... gulolol.


I think we both applied a little late. My son applied a couple of weeks prior and he had his interview 2-3 months ago. As I recall, October was when the Idiot down south, sent people and resources down to the other border.

wife and i got our approvals today...took 8 business days? have a coworker waiting on his from back in august

Got my physical card yesterday, 10 calendar days after approval.

so where y'all going with your nexus pass? :lol

Had my interview for next week cancelled. Had to reschedule to Sept 9...
