It doesn't matter what's in it. Aside from a reasonable number of gifts from your Canadian relatives (or whatever) you may be subject to receiveing a letter you don't want if you are deluged with packages from overseas.And if you get caught you just pay the tax? Do you honestly think that's what will happen? You can just go off and do it again?
Define "reasonable number of gifts". Or is not having to report personal information to the government, such as, whether a parcell you receive is a "gift" or a purchase just another fairtax lie.
That raises another question. If you purchase something used from a foreign country, is it's value subject to the fairtax since it was never "previously taxed" under our laws?
Good question. I don't know the answer but my first thought is yes.
