谢谢 LZ！楼下写的是每人过海关的配额。
已经很长一段时间没去美国了，只是偶尔从朋友家（美国购物）抓几件东西 :p ，上次拿了一包 cream cheese 奶酪，相信牛奶产品在美国便宜很多。nn 年了，另外一家朋友是每年感恩节和圣诞节前 必去美国买火鸡，当然也买满整车食品杂货 。作者: plumage 时间: 2012-10-19 12:05
美国食物转基因多，便宜，少买的好作者: antidote 时间: 2012-10-19 14:34 标题: 除非你待过两天 What are your personal exemption amounts?
住上一晚才有
NOTE: Canadian Duty free allowances increased to the following amounts on June 1, 2012.
Less than 24 Hours - $0 CAD
There is no duty free allowance for absences of less than than 24 hours.
24 Hour Exemption – $200 CAD
If you are absent from Canada for more than 24 hours, you may claim up to $200 CAD worth of goods duty free as your personal exemption and all goods must be with you when you arrive. If the goods you bring in are worth more than $200 CAD in total, you cannot claim this exemption and you will have to pay duties and taxes on all goods you bring in to Canada. You can NOT include tobacco or alcoholic under this exemption.
48 Hour Exemption – $800 CAD
If you are absent from Canada for more than 48 hours, you may claim up to $800 CAD worth of goods duty free, and must have the goods with you when you arrive at the border. You may include some tobacco and alcohol products under this exemption, and should review the section below called “Alcohol and Tobacco” for more details.
7 Day Exemption – $800 CAD
If you are absent from Canada for more than 7 days, you may claim up to $800 CAD worth of goods duty free. You may include some tobacco and alcohol products under this exemption, and should review the section below called “Alcohol and Tobacco” for more details. With the exception of tobacco and alcohol products, you do not need to have the goods with you when you arrive at the border. To calculate the number of days you have been absent, do not include the date you left Canada but include the date you returned. Dates matter, not times. For example, you are considered to have been absent for seven days if you left Friday the 7th and returned Friday the 14th.作者: iMP 时间: 2012-10-19 15:29
谢谢 p 同学提醒 “美国食物转基因多”！美国和加拿大只是一线(无形)分开，整个北美的食物应该都差不多。自从知道黄豆老早已被转基因后，我已懒看什么转不转基因的了！我比较懒，怕 想得太多 看的太多，会什么都吃不成。May be FDA(US) is doing a better job than Health Canada/Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
