Hi all!
I’m from Canada hoping to go propose to my American girlfriend next weekend in California. The ring is from Canada and is worth about $6000 CAD. I am driving over the border and flying from a Washington airport to visit her. I have a couple of questions:
1) Will I be allowed to this or would it be better to wait until she visits me?
2) Will I have to pay duty on the ring at the border when I cross? I could take it back home with me until she visits
3) what is the best way to declare the ring and my intentions at the border? I have employment in Canada, so reason to get back
Any advice or suggestions would be helpful. Thank you!
