New tariffs

[Chazz]

T bone I have over 40 years of some really gre at memories but I have to disagree this is not meaningless. I have an off grid cottage in Canada where I spend most my summer at. Pretty much every year I'm taking stuff I acquired during the winter months up to my cottage to improve it and make it more comfortable.  I'm trying to find out exactly what I'm allowed and what I might be paying in tariffs when I head up this year.

Chazz,
Technically, your opportunity to furnish your cottage was the first year you acquired it. You were compelled to make a list of items you planned on bringing up. These items had to be in your possession at the time. CBSA would have documented your move so to speak and as you brought stuff up, they would have crossed them off on your documentation.

This method avoids foreigners from going out and buying brand new furnishings years later and claiming they are for their cottage.

So to answer your question-pretty much everything you bring up now could be subject to tax if it has value.
Make a list with a garage sale value for said article. If its a new item, bring the receipt.
