One of the changes that is being made as a result of the agreement is an increase of the online duty-free amount in Canada.
The $20 duty-free limited will now be $150 Canadian, a $130 difference.
This means that Canadians shopping from U.S. stores online will not pay duty on purchases that are $150 or lower.
