Duty Free Question

Quick question, if I buy an item that is 1000$ usd (~1350 cad) do I pay tax/duty on the full item as its over or just the amount over?

I cant really find a definite answer on google.

if the value of the goods you are bringing back exceeds CAN$800, duties and taxes are applicable only on amount of the imported goods that exceeds CAN$800.
A minimum absence of 48 hours from Canada is required. For example, if you left at 19:00 on Friday the 15th, you may return no earlier than 19:00 on Sunday the 17th to claim the exemption.
Toronto is a very small part of Canada
