Returning to Canada from HongKong

Question

I'll be going to Hong Kong for a month, and I just know I'll be buying things.

I have a Canadian passport, am a resident etc.

Does anyone know if there's a certain limit on how much I can buy, and bring back into Canada without having to pay the taxes/duties? (I'm not sure what exactly they're called)

For example, if I come back from the states after being there for more than 7 days, I can't bring back over 750 Cdn without having to declare? and pay the duties? Is it still 750Cdn even if I stay in HK for a month?

I've never gone over the limit, so I'm not sure what to do...If I do go over it, I just have to declare it upon re-entry, probably fill out some forms and pay the duties on the amount I have over 750?

What happens if I still have either CDN or Hong Kong money/cash in my wallet? Do those count towards the 750 as well?

I appreciate any advice, or any links that I can read! Thanks! =)

Answer 1

All ways go for the official Government of Canada website, when in doubt. After all we are all paying millions, in tax dollars,  to maintain and update them. Might as well use them, right ?

Go to this Canadian  Border Security Agency website  and read it carefully.
