I mean, say, you want a really camera, or a drone, and since those things are made in China, they are too expensive to buy. 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?

    Couldn’t someone living near a border just go over and buy stuff and skip the tariffs?

    Yes, they could. Yes, they can. Yes, they do.

    Yes, the ones who do it as a business get caught, eventually ;-)
