CANADIAN with question about sending cards in (Newbie) 1 1

[HAINES93]

I have been sending cards to COMC Canada, and then they go down to the USA Headquarters and I have been sending to be graded from there to CSG as its now a service that COMC provides for 'free.'

Why I have never sent directly to CSG is because I dont know how the border works. Do I declare the cards as goods? Do I pay duty at the border for it to go to CSG?

When they are done grading, do I pay duty on the cards coming back to Canada? (likely ((hopefully)) valuable) 

Thanks in advance!

Do not take this as legal advice, but my experience (US resident) has always been that you send it out with intention to have it returned to you and inform Customs of that.
