What’s one of the most ridiculous situations you’ve been in?

Back in the 90’s, my 2 friends & I would drive from Toronto to Buffalo to go shopping, just for the day. At the time, we were only allowed less than $50 duty free.

On one particular trip in July, we all bought over $100 of merchandise. I bought about 3 pairs of shoes & some tops. My friends bought undergarments & clothes as well.

We pulled over a few miles from the border, & proceeded to rip off tags & start wearing the clothes we bought. So we all had layers of clothes on. 🤣

The worst part is that we still got pulled over & had to pay duty on some of our items, all the while perspiring from the heat & humidity. 😆🤣

What!?! How did they know they were new?

If no tags and you were wearing them?

@Viper There were certain things we couldn’t wear. Like I had extra shoes. We had to claim something. Canadian customs knows about the trend of Torontonians crossing the border to shop. So there’s no way that 3 girls in their 20’s would not have bought anything after 1 day in Buffalo. Lol
