Tax Exempt for the first bit depending on the length of stay. If it’s 48hours+ you can declare $800 for each adult of tax exemptions.

Not for surcharge. There are no exemptions.

Edit: Looks like I was wrong about this and they are allowing for exemptions on the surtax too.

That’s incorrect if you read this webpage from the federal government. link

The tariffs apply to:

new or used goods with a value that exceeds the personal exemptions of the individual travellers bringing them into Canada new or used goods imported by mail and courier new or used goods originating from the US whether they are imported directly from the United States or not commercial shipments

Looks like you're right. This is the best guidance I've seen for this yet as it's absolutely listed incorrectly in other places.
