Shipping large speakers to Canada from US


What are the cross border issues in shipping/transporting Canadian mfg. speakers back across the border to Canada? I bought the speakers, made in Canada, factory direct and had them shipped to US. I am now selling same speakers, and have prospective buyer in Canada. I may transport the speakers across the border myself and avoid a shipper. What are the likely border issues, questions, etc. that I may face?
Any information is appreciated.
Thanks

US Customs website says that they will collect a duty based on declared value. First $400 is exempt. The next $1000 (up to $1400) will have a duty of 1.5%. Anything over $1400 will have a different rate depending on location. The exemption can be doubled to $800 if you travel with a US buddy.
