Compassionate Customs Allowance?

No such exemption exists. You'll benefit from your $800 exemption, everything else is taxable and dutiable, with a beneficial rate available for the first $300 of your overage.

Since your travel insurance may reimburse you for some purchases you'll still come out ahead methinks.
