tofu

ice cream is not basic grocery, so it is subject to taxes.  the $20 limit is only apply to basic groceries, which are eggs, milk and.... plus that supermarket really marks up the price.  if you add the state tax and exchange rate, sometimes it is better off to buy here.  especially the milk, walmart has better price.
if you smoke, you are only allow to take back one opened package.  the rest are subject to tax.

    Ice cream IS basic grocery. It's listed under Dairy product section, together with cream, cheese, yogurt (and a few others). The $20 limit do applies. I have my Nexus tariff guide so it's all listed there.

The tariff guide for Nexus user shows that ice creme is under Dairy product category and Dairy product is under basic grocery. Dairy product is subject to the $20 limit tax exemption. Other Basic grocery has different limit.

Ice cream and similar products
Sch. VI, Part III, para 1(k)
74. A supply of ice cream, ice milk, sherbet, frozen yoghurt or frozen pudding, non-dairy substitutes for any of the foregoing, or any product that contains any of the foregoing, when packaged or sold in single servings, is taxable.
75. Examples of ice cream and similar products that are taxable, when packaged or sold in single servings, include:
• ice cream sandwiches
• ice cream bars
• tofu-based frozen snacks
• frozen yoghurt bars
----
so a box of ice cream is not taxable since it isn't single servings, but an ice cream bar is taxable since it is single serving.  So confusing.
