Items that can be brought in from a trip

Recommended Posts

I am planning a trip to the US and plan to do some shopping.  Are there any items or quantity of items that may be a problem?  I won't be carrying any alcohol or medications. I want to bring some upholstery to recover a couple of arm chairs, clothes.

The actual rule is that "personal use" is not exempt if it exceeds $300 usd per person if brought in by car. "Personal use" does still not allow meat products whether cooked, smoked or raw for what ever reason you give. Dog or cat food that is in excess of estimated 30 days usage is not allowed. No dog/cat food can contain meat products.

$300.00 USDs exempt on "new" items per person. It does not  consider your suitcase full of stuff or your used cell phone or laptop etc. in the $300.00 USD exemption. 

 After $300.00  you might pay duty and IVA depending on the ADUANA setup at that crossing.
