Declare your purchase at the booth give them the receipt even if you have them mounted do the same thing.[right][snapback]234221[/snapback][/right]I have a PO box in NY and I bring stuff back across the border two or three times a month, sometimes once a week.
Statements made at the booth are "informal" and on the basis of what you say you may or may not be asked to make a formal declaration.
Regularly I pay nothing because I'm not asked to make a formal declaration ... but on those occasions where I do have to make a formal declaration I have to pay both GST and PST without fail. The only PST exceptions are the ones I noted in an earlier post (footwear below $30 etc) and AFAIK there are no GST exceptions.
On occasion I've made an informal declaration of goods worth as much as $150 to $160 US without being asked to make a formal declaration ... but for a single day trip anything over that and you can almost bet the house you'll be asked to make a formal declaration (which means you pay taxes and possibly duty) - and if that happens you better have a receipt.
