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.
