I was under the impression when they passed NAFTA that it was going to create a three country free trade zone. Does Canada still charge import duties on products coming from the U.S.?We're not sure what happened. We thought that it took all our manufacturing and head office jobs and moved them to the States.
Duties? may have been eliminated but only for corporations.
When we returned last month we had $3000 worth of stuff to declare and our exemption was only $1500. (Good thng I didn't buy that $850 Beyer-Garrat). We got charged $150 "Sales Tax" on that extra. Don't know how they worked that out.
