CBSA - Things to Follow

[zsheikh]

Hi All,
I wanted to ask that upon our 1st landing to Canada we clearly showed our intention that we will return later after 1 year so we can wrap up things back home.

Therefore, we did not presented the "things to follow" list at CBSA counter.

I would like to know that now we are gonna do our 2nd landing; can we still submit the "things to follow" list at CBSA office or have we lost the chance for that? ( to avoid duty in case if we still plan to bring things from overseas"

Thanks for your quick response Zardoz.

In our case, Yes, this will be the first time where we intend to live in Canada for a period more than 12 months.
So this means that its absolutely fine that when we are going to Canada for our 2nd time now; we can submit the "goods to follow" list at CBSA and that will be all tax exempted?
