So I am trying to make a list of all the things I am planning to take with me and need some help.
I am taking my desktop computer with me in my hard back suitcase but am taking out the components to wrap them separately in bubble wrap and anti static bags. When I list the computer can I list it just as that or do I need to list each component as I have separated it.

Thanks for your help!!!

The B4 list serves two purposes: (i) it allows you to bring in your belongings without being taxed; and (ii) it serves as an insurance policy that allows you to travel with your belongings in the future and re-enter Canada without having to pay any duty on them. So, I would advise being as specific as you can to prevent any future taxation. I would write "Desktop computer with __ GB RAM, ___ TB HD, etc." and list all the components/peripherals in the same line as the computer.

That's what I thought, rather be over detailed than not.

Cheers!!
