I live an hours drive North of the border and it si much much cheaper to rent a mail box in upper NY than to ship across the border. shipping out of Canada is the same.... it is cheaper for me to ship anywhere in the USA if I take it across the border..... custom will not even ask me to unwrap anything..... the usual question.... what is in the box.... "ventilation ducting system for a 1952 Dodge truck"..... was it originally made in the US??? ..... to which I answer YES.... fine!!! no duty on old stuff. Coming back I just unpack and throw it loose in the back of the pick up..... even brought back a whole PW for parts..... no registration... just for parts..... they accepted the receipt in the office without even going out to look at the truck and trailer...spare engine etc.....
I would suggest that you try getting the Canadian seller to cross it over for you and ship from state side.....
