What dose this mean?

If I buy a sweater from a U.S. outlet but it was made in China does it qualify for the NAFTA exemption?

No. Clothes must be made in Canada, the U.S. or Mexico to qualify for the NAFTA exemption. If you exceed your personal limit, you will have to pay duty of 18 per cent in addition to provincial and federal sales taxes.

However, Canada does have free trade agreements with Costa Rica, Chile and Israel. Products manufacturered there may qualify.

So personal limit for a day trip is $100? = no tax
If the clothes are made in Mexico then there is no tax? - regardless of amount? or dose it consider the amount?

I think I'd spend around $200, clothes are made in Mexico, so would I pay tax on that or is it exempt (plan to declare) not a big deal either way but just want to understand this better so I can make some calculations...
