I've never had a problem taking a couple of Romanys from Minnesota into 
Canada and back, except once when a U.S. Customs official asked me 
suspiciously if I had bought them in Canada (this despite the Minnesota 
registration stickers on the bows). I merely answered no, and he let us 
back into the country without further ado.

This reminds me, though, of the time I went to the 1973 World Science 
Fiction Convention in Toronto with friends driving an RV. Crossing the 
border back into Detroit, we were asked if we had anything to declare, to 
which the driver replied, "No, we smoked it all." The customs agent just 
laughed and waved us through.
