We will be taking our initial visit to this area in late June. We are
US residents. I have made reservations on the Canadian side but am
having second thoughts about staying there as opposed to the US side.
Here are my concerns.

If our hotel is on the Canadian and we do a lot of shopping on the US
side is that going to cause a problem with Canadian Customs when we
return to our hotel with our goods?. Just regular tourist stuff
nothing real costly.

I don't understand this question. If you are staying on the Canadian side,
you are not going to be driving back and forth between the Canadian side and
the US side. So why would you be shopping on the US side and then going
back to your hotel?


When we come back home will our purchases made on the US side be
considered as coming from Canada and be subject to some sort of
tariff?.

Again, you most likely will not be going back and forth between the US and
Canada.


How much of a hassle timewise and otherwise is it to cross back and
forth because of customs?


Why would you be going back and forth?


Are things more expensive on the Canadian side?, it appears that taxes
are a good deal more in Canada. Is it actually going to cost more to
eat and stay in Canada?

No. Think currency conversion.



I would appreciate any insight.

I am also looking for a good written guidebook to the area.

Thanks.
