Does anybody know how bringing stuff across the border works? I have never bought anything over the border. But I was reading on a powerstroke forum what other people are paying in the states for fluids/filters for their trucks and it seems to be a lot cheaper in the states. For example the tranny in my 05 powerstroke uses Mercon SP fluid that you can only get from ford up here in canada. Ford wants $12 for a quart of this fluid. Oreilly auto parts is selling the same fluid for $3.39 a quart.
There is a oreillys across the border in lynden. I live not far from the border in langley and it is 30 km from my house to this oreillys. I figure I could save alot of money running across the border early one weekend and buying a bunch of stuff for my truck. Basically I would stock up on fluids and filter to maintain my truck.
My question is how does crossing the border with this stuff work? What would I get charged when I claim this stuff at the border?
