Another thing that really helps is to declare that it was made in the USA.

Why do now what you can put off until the last minute...
A gentleman in Canada has some hardware that he's willing to give
me (old computers in questionable state). Thing is, neither one of
us is sure if there's any paperwork required to bring these boxes
over the border. He's even willing to deliver, but not without any
necessary paperwork.
Can anybody fill me in on what would be required? Would working
versus non-working make a difference? It's close to 15 years old
if that matters...
Thanks,

One needs to consult with a customs broker, and there are many in
business on both sides of the border. One trick to help avoid duties is
to disable working equipment and declare it junk. Something simple like
snipping attached line cords, or pulling a fuse(s) out of the power
supply.
Since NAFTA I haven't any idea what some of the procedures are now.
