This is pretty interesting for cross border shopping, especially for us here in Québec who

pay a hair more than 15% sales tax

.

I bought a Canon zoom in New Hampshire at Best Buy and saved nearly $300.00 if I compared the price plus tax of my local photo store. Best Buy in Canada also respects the guarantees of items bought in BB in the States.

YIKES! 15% tax. I decided not to buy RV property in TN when I saw their tax was almost 10%. :B

When you RV to the states are you allowed to stock up on goods at a lower tax rate and bring it back across the border?

Not exactly, you have to be within the regulations in effect at the, time you cross. Currently you are permitted to cross $800 of goods each after being in the US 48 hours; the value over $800 may be subject to duties and/or taxes. There are specific limits for items such as tobacco and alcohol. Some food products like meats may be limited to a total of 50-lbs for personal use only.

Rules change, interpretation of the border agents and a number of other things may influence what and how much you can cross.
