Exactly. Everyone will be trying to manipulate the system. I reckon people will be taking more trips overseas, buying their clothes and cutting the tags, buying electronics and getting rid of the boxes. We will be like the Mexicans when they would come on weekends to the US and do their shopping and every Sunday night the parking lots of best buy, the malls etc in McAllen Texas would be full of empty boxes. You also get this with the Chinese coming to Singapore and flying back home after a shopping spree. As other members have said some countries have much lower limits but eventually everyone finds a way to get around the system.
