I know in practice you can probably slip it by, but in theory having it shipped accross the border and bringing it accross the border yourself should be no different.
You will have to declare it because they will ask you if you're bringing anything back with you. You can lie... but it's not worth getting busted.


Is what you're buying made in North America? If so there is no duty, so you only pay sales tax on the declared value.
