Buying used Kayak in Canada and bringing into USA

ANybody have experience with doing this???  What's the skinny regarding
duty at US border, etc???   I bought my 50hp Honda in Vancouver a few years back, there was no duty.

Duty rules should apply if the value exceeds what's in the rules.  However, I'm guessing that if a customs agent sees a used kayak on your vehicle, they'll think it's yours and not a purchase.  Note: I'm not encouraging anyone to skirt the rules.  It's just an observation I have.  I've brought more kayaks up and back than the number of people I have in my truck.  I've been asked about it before at the border and just informed them that I was bringing up an kayak for a buddy in another vehicle (which was the truth).  It wasn't an issue.

Just make sure it's really empty. 

  And no joints in the space between the lens and the mirror in your SLR!!
(Don't ask me how I know this...)

i cross the border all the time...if its used i dont think there will be any issue at all...course it all depends on how it goes down as they strip search you

if the kayak was made in US or canada or mex it should be included in NAFTA so there would be no duty...if it is made in italy or europe and NEW there could be some duty

i cross the border all the time...if its used i dont think there will be any issue at all...course it all depends on how it goes down as they strip search you

Just don't hide the kayak where they might find it in a strip search........ 

Solved---the owner is bringing it down---a revo for wife Mary!

Nice. Another happy Hobie owner!!..

She's been lusting after one ever since she pedaled mine at Sylvia Lake, over by Montesano.
