Anyone coming home from a 48-hour absence can legally cross the border with $800 worth of goods, double the current limit. The seven-day exemption was bumped, too, but only by $50 to $800. |

| It's not spending at just the duty free shop. You can bring across goods worth those amounts (bought at DF shop or not). |

| My guess is they won't change Alochol and Tobacco limits. Lost revenue would be huge in all the border cities. |

maybe this will get Canadian companies (which are mostly owned by foreigners anyways!) to lower prices in Canada. I don't get why we should pay more than americans in a lot of products |
