What? You don't get charged duty?? I am coming shopping with <b>YOU!!</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>Here's how it is supposed to work (in theory).&nbsp;</p> <p>If you go across and come back the same day, <b>technically </b>you do not get any exemptions. Having said that, often I tell them that I bought something worth $100 to $200 and they will wave me through and tell me to have a nice day.&nbsp;</p> <p>Having said that I have also decided several times to declare honestly the approximate amount and then I go into the little office where they calculate duty and taxes and I pay up. Ugh. &nbsp; But better than being arrested.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you go for 24 hours or more, you get a $200 exemption. Again, you can often tell them you bought a bit more and they'll let it go. But not always.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you go for 48 hours or more you get to claim $800 worth without duties or taxes. Typically they don't even ask questions if I've been gone that long, or at least they don't ask seriously. I tell them I bought a few articles, they ask me to estimate the $ amount, I lowball it, and they say fine.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordies-is-duty-free-at-the-moment#post-1745577 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 13:20:16 +0000 Anonymous 1745577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, thanks. I don't the no I've ever bought anything from Nordie's online. </p> <p>When I'm driving over the border, and am bringing stuff back, they don't charge me duty on what I bring back.<br /> Is that just because it's too hard for the boarder agent to determine the country of origin? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordies-is-duty-free-at-the-moment#post-1745569 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 13:08:50 +0000 Suz 1745569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ONLY if it is entirely made (and sourced) in N.

Which is basically nothing. ;/</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordies-is-duty-free-at-the-moment#post-1745567 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 13:05:07 +0000 Anonymous 1745567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So The "duty free" thing in clothing...<br /> I thought with NAFTA and all that, most clothing is duty-free anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordies-is-duty-free-at-the-moment#post-1745536 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 08:33:50 +0000 Style Fan 1745536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh.&nbsp; We are going to Montreal soon.&nbsp; I can't order anything.&nbsp; :(&nbsp; I hope it lasts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordies-is-duty-free-at-the-moment#post-1745450 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 02:15:37 +0000 Suz 1745450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, you're kidding. So you are ordering to Canada from the US website and getting duty free? I am going to try it.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordies-is-duty-free-at-the-moment#post-1745437 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 01:11:56 +0000 Elizabeth P 1745437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't read the fine print, so not sure how long this is on for. I was "testing" an item to see how much the duty would be, and a thing came up saying to use the promo code "dutyfree" at checkout. I didn't notice it advertised anywhere before then, the sneaky devils. </p>
