U.S. Customs Exemptions for U.S. Tourists on Articles Purchased in Canada -------------------------- Visitors returning to the United States from Canada are now permitted a total customs exemption of $400. This includes the $100 previous exemption and the additional exemption of $300 granted under Public Law 540 of May 20, 1948. In addition to the customs exemption of $100 previously allowed, a United States resident who has been in Canada at least 12 days may take back into the United States, free of duty, articles aggregating up to but not exceeding $300 in value as an incident of the trip from which he is returning. These articles, which do not include distilled spirits, wines, malt liquors, or cigars must have been purchased in Canada for personal use, not for re-sale. This additional $300 exemption is allowed only once every 6 months. The $100 exemption applies when visitors have been in Canada for 48 hours, and is allowed once every 30 days. It may include cigarettes, tobaccos, foodstuffs, not more than 100 cigars, and not more than 1 wine gallon of alcoholic beverages. Importation of alcoholic beverages must comply with state liquor laws, whether or not such beverages are free of duty under the $100 exemption.
