If you are bringing in something made in the USA then locate the "Made 
in USA" badges and show them to any interested customs agents.  There 
are no duties on US made goods.  If the unit was not primarily assembled 
in the US then show them a reciept showing how much you paid for it, and 
the age, and I doubt there would be any duty on it.

Al, do you recall how much John B had to do to get the machines he went 
and retrieved for you from Nova Scotia?  I don't think there was any 
issue, but he may have crossed and just lucked out.
