Does it mean that ANYTHING purchased overseas like souvenirs have to declare?

If value of the souvenirs is more than the tabulated GST relief amount, I believe so, yes.

This is in response to the original thread topic ( from September) If you are already used to Canon than just get a 5DMk2...Its cheaper than the D700 and It can also mt (with adapter) Nikon glass...Plus you can shoot movies...I am a Nikon DX user, but my FF is Canon...(mainly because I'm cheap!)...

Cheers
