Hey, a question from a newbie: What is the process for bringing used screen printing equipment from the US into Canada? Are there any special forms to fill out? Am I actually an importer, or just a consumer? I've had stuff come through Ebay before, but I would be going down to the US to pick up the items personally. Any specific protocol to follow that anyone has discovered? I'd sure appreciate some wisdom from someone who has done something similar.
Thanks.

Hi Zed, i live near the border and bring stuff into the U.S from Canada on a regular Basis.
I show a receipt and depending on the mood of the official at the checkpoint he either sends me in to pay the duty, or tells me to get out of here.
Not sure if the Canadians would be so accomodating, but at worst you'll pay the duty.
Make sure you have either a legitimate business receipt or a notarised bill of sale for the items you have with you.
Good Luck
