Shipping a juke to Canada.

I'm hoping that someone like John's jukes can tell me what is involved with
shipping a juke from the US to Canada?
I have friend in Vancouver who wants to buy a 1465 Rock Ola from me. I have
a shipping department at my machine shop. We ship products that we make up
to Canada every day, so I'm familiar with the customs invoices and things,
but I didn't know if there are any extra "snags" involved with shipping an
antique juke up to Canada. I shipped a motorcycle up there a few years ago
and it was tied up for MONTHS because of extra red tape!
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Best to engage a customs broker for this sort of shipment. Even though
there is no duty you will have to generate a "Commercial Invoice" and
use the correct harmonized code (not handy). These are available on line
usually from the customs brokers.

I can recommend either W.L.Rutherfords or UPS Supply Solutions for
brokering shipments to Canada.
