You might be surprised. Customs people, on both sides of the border have wildly varying ideas on what is legal, or should be, and what isn't. Many years ago, friends of mine went fishing and drove through customs easily on both sides. On the return trip, a female Canadian customs agent found the driver's homemade match safe, consisting of a 20 gauge spent shell stuck in a 16 gauge spent shell. 4 hours, an interrogation and a cavity search later, he was allowed to pass. The same group made the same fishing trip a few years afterward without the owner of the match safe, who swore he would kill the next Canadian customs agent he crossed paths with. They sailed right through, but, mentioned the trouble they had to a different customs agent. He snickered and asked if it was a short, fat, homely, lady that detained them, and, of course, they remembered that. "She did that to lots of guys. She doesn't work here anymore".
More snickers.
Best,
Ted
