    Posted: 29 June 2012 at 20:00
I know that books are tax exempt, but I was wondering if there is a limit to the number of copies per title.

My friend is a teacher and asked me to bring back several (20) copies of each of the same 4 novels from the US where they are $3each.  I wasn't planning on bring back much stuff for personal use this time (I was just there a few months ago and will be going again in September or October). 


Alternatively, does anyone know if Fastway still ships those $100 boxes?  They don't list that service any more on their site.

no more than 3 identical items.

So three copies of each book are allowed duty free

If the traveler enters by air or sea, the following quantitative limits apply:

  • alcoholic beverages: 12 liters total;
  • cigarettes: 10 packs total, containing each 20 units;
  • cigars or cigarillos: 25 units total;
  • tobacco: 250 grams total;
  • goods not included in items (a) through (d) (that is, souvenirs and small gifts), whose unit value is under US$ 10.00: 20 units total, provided that there be no more than 10 identical units;
  • goods not included in items (a) through (e): 20 units total, provided that there be no more than 3 identical units.
Oh I read it wrong, if the value is under $10, you can bring 10 identical items otherwise, it's 3.
