I think the part folks are skipping over here is that the reason you can cross the border without paying any taxes or duty is because of an exemption that “personal possessions” can cross the border free because they will LEAVING with that person, just like your luggage or anything else you brought, I.E. cameras, phone, jewelry.
If it doesn’t leave the country with the tourist when they leave, it’s considered to be IMPORTED into the US.
Likewise, it’s technically illegal for a Canadian insurance company to sell insurance in the US as they’re not licensed to do so. That might a claim a ticklish matter.
Not true. My sister-in-law has a winter home in Zypherhills, FL. They have plenty of personal things things that they brought from home in Fort Erie (clothes, dishes, etc).
Works exactly the same way when we take stuff to our Fort Erie home from down here.
