Re-entering from USA but do not have goods to follow list

[Uranus007]

Hi all,

I am re entering to Canada from USA by road in my personal vehicle, but I made a mistake in my first entry to Canada where I did not make the list of goods under acquisition and goods to follow. That time I asked the custom officer at the airport regarding my next visit to Canada by road with everything under my possession, he was telling me that I need to produce evidence which proves that the goods were purchased before I became PR of Canada.

Has anyone gone under such situation? Please share your experiences.

Thank you.

Nobody has gone through such situation.javascript:void(0);
My concern is regarding custom duties.

If you are staying outside Canada for 72 hours or more you can import goods worth $750 without paying any tax. If it is more than that you have to pay taxes (13% in Ontario) when you enter. I am not sure if they will accept receipts as proof to prove that they were purchased before you became a PR. Goods to follow list is the official document by which they go.
