Importing a Rolex into Canada

This is what they can (and have done). Hire investigators and get credit card receipts etc.:

What you do is get a BSF407 from customs at the airport or at a border crossing BEFORE you go over. Bring a receipt or a recent appraisal within Canada when you take it to customs. The agent will record this information on the form and will sign and stamp it. This proves that you brought the item with you when you left the country.

I’ve done this for watches and camera gear with serial numbers. The BSF407 has no expiration date and is a green coloured card that you can keep with you indefinitely for future trips. No need to bring warranty cards, receipts, etc. that you may lose on vacation.
