They like to keep a close eye on the average person if you let them away with avoiding taxes they get into the same habit as the rich and not want to pay any. We get a limit and if I were to just go over and shop for it I would be required to pay tax on the purchase price, even on the taxes I had paid in the state I purchased it in.

Aqua-man I am posting this for Randy (Lowbubba) I take no responsibility. He can't do it himself so he subcontracted me (he learned that at GM).

When returning back to Canada I've often been asked if I repaired or modified my vehicle during my stay in the US.
So what if you just say no, how can they tell?

Probably won't.... however.....

These people are very good at detecting dishonest answers and the grief that you'll encounter when they suspect you're not being honest...

It's not worth it for a few dollars if any duty...
I bought my EMS from Tweetys and had it shipped to Sweetgrass. Drove across then declared it along with 24 Buds and was told to have a nice day... No duty for a 20 minute visit...

When someone says they didn't fix anything on their Ford..... Be prepared for a strip search!

Sorry.... I couldn't resist it!

They can search you or your car.
If they catch you, the fines will pale in comparison to the hassle they will give you from then, on.

Pay in cash, see if it still works that way for them.

That's one way........
Having boxes in the trunk is a little harder.

I got bent over pretty hard once.
I ordered a fuel injected crate engine from jegs.

I expected to pay the 15% tax on the engine. Fine.
Then they told me the shipping charges were taxable as well!
