Last year, I made a 10 hour round-trip from Canada to the US to pick up a Northstar
Horizon. Upon returning to Canada with it, I had a long conversation with Canada Customs
about why I would make a 10-hour day-trip to the US to pick up a ?piece of obsolete junk?
unless it had some real value, and if it had real value, Her Majesty wanted taxes on that
value. He suggested that next time I bring with me printed copies of any paper trail,
such as emails offering the ?junk? for free or cheap, examples of eBay listings showing
the actual value, etc.
YMMV

Several of us have been bounced at the border for trying to bring in larger machines.
Basically, if it is something that is not a laptop or PeeCee or normal consumer
electronics, expect trouble. It is not 1998 anymore.
Do "Made in USA" markings still suffice when transporting from Canada to the
USA?
