Hi Tuli,

Welcome to Canada!!!!

When I landed, I filled two forms
1. B4 (Goods you are Importing while landing).
2. B4A (Good to follow at a later date).

I didn't carry my Jewellery while Landing but I listed each and every individual ornament in the B4A list, listed their weight and value in Canadian Dollars. I had more than 40 individual pieces including very small ones summing up to 1.25 Kg as their total weight.

Apart from listing them, I also photographed them in 10x8 prints and attached the Photographs with the Jewellery list.

I showed the forms and Photographs to the customs officer after completing the immigration, It took a while (Please be patient when you see others passing you early).
The Customs officer entered the list their Computer system, She made few copies of the Forms we submitted and the Photographs, Stamped our Papers and we ended up with a "Welcome to Canada" from her.

I beleive one might be liable for duty/tax if the jewelleries are sold with in a year of Landing. I didn't research this much in details because it wasn't of interest to me but just browsed it. I also think the same applies to other goods also.

Wishing you Good luck and Happy Landing.
- JRF.
