Request of TVQ payment for goods picked up in Ogdensburg from Gouvernement du Québec

Good evening all,

I was wondering if anyone received a request in the past from the Gouvernment of Quebec looking for TVQ payments from taxable goods brought into Quebec.

I have an address with myusaddress.ca and have been carrying stuff across the border for the past ~4 years, once or twice a year.

Anything from shoes to clothes, computer equipments and varied goods, all for personal usage.

I just received a request from the provincial government to pay +/- 460$ related to goods brought into Quebec from the past 2 years or so (from April 2017 - December 2018).

I read article 17 quickly, and it mostly pertained to motor vehicles and such. I must say I’m surprised to see some items listed at like 40$ being taxed.

I’m not against paying it, I’m mostly concerned by the precedent this could create by accepting payment ie. they’re saying that for all future “imports”, I will have yo fill out a form.

Anyone care to chime in with past experience ?

Thanks
