So, I live right on the Canadian border. Right there.

If I went over to Canada, somebody gave me a bunch of product for free, then I took that product and gave it to someone else for free, would that be legal? No money was exchanged.

Let’s say the product was plushies. A large amount of them. What’s the legality of that?

That’s a federal crime. If it’s for your personal or household use and under $200 you’re fine.

Doesn’t seem like a good time to fuck with border control.

  Not saying I’d do it. Just proposing a hypothetical.

    Because they care about the value of the item, not what you paid for it.
    
    Because they’re not stupid, and stupid people have been trying to find easy loop holes forever.

    Do you have to declare your car if you drive across the border?

    Because it’s the law, that is why it’s a crime.
