Is someone ever shipped shocks for rebuild to US from Canada?

[Pat L.]

I'm from Canada and I'm willing to ship my shocks to US for a rebuild/revalve. I am wondering if I will have to pay duty on the value of the shocks. I am not selling anything, just shipping used shocks for rebuild. I know I will maybe have to pay taxes on the amount for the rebuild when shipping back and that's ok for me, but I would not like to have to pay taxes on the value of the shocks. Is someone ever had any experience with shipping part for repair across border?

Why not have them rebuilt here in Canada?

I would like to sent them to schmidt bros, because they are specialized in Yamaha, I think they can do the valving right the first time. It is a Phazer RTX, not sure if many place have great experience with them. Maybe I should try local shock builder, do you know a place with experience on the Phazers?
