Bringing Goods Back Over the US Border
My wife owns a small store selling home decor items. She has found a wholesaler in the US who sells things that she can't seem to get from any wholesaler based in Canada. This wholesaler uses UPS to ship. She wants to order $200-$300 worth of home decor items. Rather than having them ship the goods straight to us, we thought it might be better using Kinek to have them ship her stuff to a pick up place in the US, drive across the border, pick up her packages, and bring them into Canada ourselves (Thousand Island Bridge crossing).
What would be involved in this? Do we have to register as an importer? Fill out forms? Pay hst? I'm assuming that we can't stay overnight and use our $200 exemptions to bring them in tax free, is that right? Thanks.
