How much are we allowed to bring with us "tax free" from the US? We have some stuff, not too much, that we're bringing (i.e., printer/copier, DVD player, new linens). At what point do we need to make a list, bring receipts, etc.? Thanks for your input.

I am no expert as I have not crossed the border in quite some time but I believe that the limit is $50 per person.
That said, I doubt I would declare any of things you listed if they are used. As for the linens, take them out of the bags. Thats sneaky but not seriously illegal, I dont think. Heck wash them a few times.
I am sure that there is a site to tell you the exact rules. Maybe someone else can be more specific.
