question about buying a scanner.

[Krissy]

I'm going to Florida in a few weeks and I was just wondering if I got a good deal on
a scanner would I be able to buy it and bring it back to Canada? I'm from NS ?
I don't want to buy one and then told I'm not allowed to bring it back a cross.

Orlando Florida?

http://www.dxzone.com/cgi-bin/dir/jump2.cgi?ID=714 a link to AES in Orlando, ( just an example, there may be more... ) check their prices compared to Canadian dealers, like Durham http://www.durhamradio.com/scanners.html ( there are more as well you can Google.. ) Remember exchange and GST/PST....should not be any duties. Never had a problem @ Customs declaring any radio gear purchased in the USA.

I brought back 2 from AES in Orlando a couple of years back. I didn't spend all I was allowed for the 2 weeks I was in the US, so when border asked how much, I told them, and they waved me through..Never even had to tell them what I had. So you probably won't even have to worry about it.

Yes But I'm flying to Florida so I was just worried about going through customs thats all
