Cross-border shopping to the United States is now a little bit easier.
Changes kicked in June 1 that raise duty free limits for most trips south of the border.
Shoppers who go to the U.S. for between 24 and 48 hours can now bring back up to 200 dollars duty free compared to 50 dollars before.
The limit increases to 800 dollars for stays outside Canada lasting up to 7 days.
Business owners say the rules will only encourage shoppers to spend more of their money outside of Canada.
