I always declare everything even alcohol on the same day. No reason to take a chance.

我落美國就用Nexus，番上嚟我過關用兩方法，如果大數，基本上是省好多，照行Nexus ，所以一定填tdc，照比，條數點都比在加拿大買低（如買車呔）。條數細的話，但又爆額，就排普通隊，一手比passport，一手就拿住夾好啲單，比佢知我計好晒數，咁我就從來未需要被打稅。前幾次就試過，照過Nexus，口頭報數，過咗少少，都無打稅，重點都係問，有冇煙酒。

Bleh. Declared $385 on kitchen goods thru Blaine and got taxed. Never got taxed @ Point Roberts. Even tho usually Blaine < $400 rarely get taxed too. Gonna go back to Point Roberts next time anyways.

I used to come back using regular lane...but since I know that I can do verbal declaration...I just go thru Nexus lane every time when I come back to Van. Never get taxed though (touch wood), but I try to limit the amt to below $200. Worst case I just go to PR one more time. Still better than having $400 stuff all at once.

Oh...can use verbal declaration?

A while back when we cross the Nexus lane, the office "refused" to take our form after asking how much we purchase (was like ~$150 for 2 persons).  When he asked me to go, I still had my declaration form in hand. I asked him whether he wants to take my declaration form and he said "NO".

Since then, we don't fill in the form anymore and just declare verbally when our purchase was ~$200 for daily trip.  If I bring in high price items, I will still fill in the form since that will prevent me from being sent inside.  So far so good.

My friend once came back with a pair of ski of ~$400.  With 4 people in the car, he still got taxed.  Since he didn't fill in the form, he had to go inside and pay the duty/tax there.

Limiting to $200 each time, gas cost from the repeated trips would cost much more than taxes la.

4 ppl no use in this scenario, cuz the pair of ski's only for one of the person in the group.

Might as well have each person getting a $200 jacket summing up to $800. Probably better when crossing the border this way.

well, like I said, crossing border is always a test on your luck in whether you got tax or not.

Having 4 people may not always help.  However, I found that when having a cute dog with us definitely helped.    I heard a baby will help crossing border too.
