hi,I'm an immigrant from China,I landed Canada in Feb.2007 and returned China to finish my work
till the buttom of 2007.Now I have completed my work task and I am planning to fly to
Alberta and permanently live there.I plan to bring along some essentials include a laptop of
myself,my personal clothing for four seasons,a camera of myself,some books of myself,an
electronic dictionary of myself,all of them were bought before Feb.2007 in China.I plan to
bring them along with two 158 centimeters's big bags according to the rule made by Canada
Air.I dont ship anything.
Only when I'm preparing for my second trip for Canada I find there is a rule:"Only goods
that were declared and listed as goods to follow on your original Form B4 are eligible for
duty- and tax-free importation at a later time."
Unfortunately I havn't prepared the list of goods to follow and given it to a Costoms
Officer at the time of my landing,that is my first overseas travel so I didn't know I must
prepare it and hand it in in advance.
That's it,I want to know if I need to pay duties and taxes on them when I get Canada? How
can I solve this problem?
