I use: "Obsolete - used AS-IS computers & parts"...text in customs declaration...Never a problem. Only issue is if its shipped from a commercial/company adress, It cant be treated as a "GIFT" and be exempt from duties and taxes even if its a true gift...thats if its coming into Canada... I won some software in a contest in the US (online auto racing) and was charged $15 canadian for some $40US value software...because it came from a "INC." address...$5 charge (!) and 2 other taxes on top of that... So people shipping and trading stuff with me, never ship from a commercial address!!! Also, I have an excuse for MY spelling mistakes...I am french.... Claude
