It's dependent on what the items are. Some categories are taxed more heavily. The customs book weighs about 50 pounds, give or take. You don't want to have to look it up.

In the case of used vehicle parts (it breaks down much further than that, but who cares?) the limit was $2k the last time I came in from Canada. The customs guy took one look and said, "See ya, have a nice day".

Maybe I have a trustworthy appearance...

Canadians, on the other hand, get royally screwed on customs duty. That seems to be a problem with stuff going INTO Canada, not out of Canada.
