As the saying goes, if you are a wholesaler, you ask for the “China Price”; if you are a consumer, you ask for the “US Price”. It’s well known that US is the shopper heaven, where the best deals in the world can be found. People talk about the free ports, such as Hong Kong, Singapore and Dubai, offer good deals. But the fact is that Singaporeans come to US to buy Levi’s jeans and people of Dubai come to US to buy iPod.
There are many US factory outlets and shopping malls close to the border. We shall cover the subject in our articles on factory outlets and car shopping.

shopping…
Your topic Shopping in US | Better Value in Dollar was very interesting when I was browsing on Friday. I was searching for shopping and came across this topic. What do other people think? Great stuff….
I’m looking to go cross border to buy a used guitar off of craigslist. What kind of fees would I be charged if I the price was over the value I’m allowed to take home for the time I’ve been gone? I’m just unsure because it’s used and therefore not being purchased in a store, therefore he won’t be collecting tax…

Canada Customs is only concerned about the total paid. Just make sure to get a receipt. Hey — as I remember… there is no duty on stringed instruments made of wood. This includes the case(1 soft/1 hard) if you bring the whole thing across as one ‘unit’, one group. Also, if the guitar needs new strings… buy them, and put them on because whatever is ‘part’ of the instrument is considered part of the exemption.

I interested in buying a new receiver for my home theatre from state, the product made in Japan.
Do you know if I have to pay a custom duty on it.
Thank you
