I mean, say, you want a really nice camera, or a drone, or maybe a gaming laptop, and since those things are made in China, they are too expensive to buy right now in the US, since tariffs are over 100%. So you just go to Canada, buy the thing, unpack it from the packaging, and pretend like its just personal items. Just like a smartphone.
AFIAK, border agents usually don’t ask if you bought your phone in the US or from outside, they shouldn’t ask about other personal electronics, right?
Come visit the EU. People drive to other countries to get cheap gas and cigarettes all the time. Hell, when I lived near the border, 95% of my groceries were German.
Yea, I read about Schengen and I love the concept.
Unfortunately the rest of the world has not been enlightened and still have border control.
I hope one day, there will be a world-wide Schengen area.
I live near ze French border in BW and half the customers in the supermarket are French or Swiss.
