Canada Customs and Personal Exemptions
Passengers returning to Canada from abroad may qualify for a personal exemption. Personal exemptions allow you to bring goods of a certain value into the country without paying duties and taxes. Exemptions vary based on the length of time you have been out of the country. Please refer to the Canada Border Services Agency website for specific allowances.To find whether the goods you are bringing back exceed your personal exemption, convert all foreign currency value into Canadian dollars.
Except for restricted items, goods that exceed personal exemptions will be subject to duty and taxes.
Who is eligible for these exemptions?
- a Canadian resident returning from a trip abroad;
- a former resident of Canada returning to live in this country; or
- a temporary resident of Canada
NOTE: : Each person, including children, is entitled to the personal exemption. However, you cannot combine your personal exemptions with another or person's exemption or transfer them to someone else.
