shipping an engine from canada to the states

[bingo1010]

am going to ship a couple engines to john at sled head and was wondering who out there has done this and what all has to be done so i dont get screwed with taxes/fees when they come back to me? i am going to ship with puralator going down, but do i have to declare it somehow so i dont pay taxes on an entire engine rather than just the rebuild parts? i know about the ups brokerage crap when coming back and am hoping to avoid this as well. any pointers or suggestions, thanks in advance,

Ship it with USPS and say that it's warranty work being sent down for repair. Then you pay nothing but the shipping. That's what I did when I sent him my engine

I shipped a ktm dirt bike motor (4 stroke ) to the USA for a rebuild and modifications
on ups and it was returned on ups and. I never payed any fees when it came back

BJ marked mine as warranty return when he shipped it back.
