Customs can be fun. For a while Canada and the US was having a pissing
contest over the salmon fishery and it seemed to trickle down to the
customs booths.

I only had a problem once. I was trying to avoid a busy station by
crossing back into the US at an out of the way checkpoint. They were bored
and I was the only fresh meat they'd seen in a while. I had a couple of
ice cube relays in my toolbox that iirc were made in Japan. Since I didn't
have the necessary papers to show I'd bought them in the US they charged
me duty.
