Summary note

This article provides estimates of the value of cross-border shopping by Canadian households in the United States from 2006 to 2012, on an annual and quarterly basis. The study provides detailed values for overnight and same-day spending in the United States, postal and courier imports and motor vehicle imports. Total cross-border expenditures are compared to Canadian retail trade sales, to provide a basis of comparison for the magnitude of these expenditures. The extent to which cross-border spending varies with movements in the Canada/United States exchange rate is also examined.
