If a former resident of Canada lived in US for more than 5 years and is returning back then there is a relief on duties for many personal belongings (no duties on <$10K items). Does anyone know how a customs officer will find out about these 5 years? Should some proof be provided and what kind of proof it could be?
Thank you.

You need to file a form, and sign it. Don't lie. So mi\uch is excluded anyways that iwould not worry. besides, it not a five year rerquirement for personal items, its more like 6-12 months.
Read over the forms on the CBSA site.

No duty, but maybe HST
Maybe no duties, but however, I believe you may still be liable for HST on the market value of certain items...(ex. vehicles, RV's, etc if you want to license them in Canada).
