Moving to Alaska, Do you have to pay duty/ taxes on power tools. Such as tablesaw, compresers, nailguns, etc?
I am moving to Alaska, going threw British Columbia. I know about ciggerettes, guns,plants, I also know you can take your personal items such as camping equit, cameras clothing etc, I perchasced the 2007 Milepost travel guide. And thats what got me wondering. It mentioned the above items, but it does not say anything about construction tools. Am I going to have a duty tax on my tools? I know this sounds crazy but I dont want to be surprised by a man in a red blazer with kneehigh boots with yellow stripes on his pants, telling me if I want to keep my shoptools I have to pay him money to keep them. Becuase its his duty to tell me I have to pay my duty. Or threw them in the dumpster so he can load them up and take them to his shop when he gets off duty. I know I am being funny, But I seriously need to know this answer. Thank You for any help you can give me.
