June is here and Canadians rejoice, our Duty Free Allowances have gone up! Great news for those 3 - 5 day Bus Trip enthusiasts.

Effective June 1st, the government has increased our allowances for what we can bring back after a shorter visit. Here's a quick overview:
  • Overnight trips were $50 –> now $200
  • 2-7 day trips were $400 –> now $800
  • 7+ day trips were $750 –> now $800
The most disappointing was that day trips remain with zero allowance. I also would have liked to seen the 7+ day limit to increase further.

What will you buy with these increased exemptions?
