Holy Red Tape!
Well, our wonderful plans of bringing some collectable items across the border when we go to Seattle for the Antiques Roadshow for appraisal seem to be near impossible. After doing due diligence and making the call to Canada Border Services, it looks like there is no practical way to bring these items across. Unless I decide to go and get an official appraisal (hello! that's why I'm going) by an official appraiser that will prove that these are Canadian based objects and that they were purchased in Canada and that I have all the official documentation including appraised price, and then a letter from the official owners that show a picture of the item and proof that I am allowed to take them, then I would probably spend many uncomfortable hours and probably lose the items by our friends at the border. So... I still have tickets, I have no idea what I'm going to do but I will keep you all up to date. Any suggestions, let me know
