Sorry c3sk, that's not what I'm trying to get at. If your discussing the purchases legally made within Canada, declaring them as such for re-entry into Canada, then I can see a Y-38 being a part of the appropriate paperwork. But in the case of ITAR products I'm not convinced that's enough.
When I read:

Question for you guys that go across the border for games. Have you taken your ITAR restricted gear across? Any hassles?

I interpret "ITAR restricted gear" to apply to US products that have been exported to Canada, (legally or otherwise) that are now re-entering that country.
Example: I buy a Class 1 DBAL laser made in the USA and bought from Rampart International in Canada.
It is a laser that attaches to a weapon, designed for use with night vision. It is certainly an ITAR product.
The laser is civilian legal to own in Canada and the USA, but the DSP-83, IIC, other paperwork for that product has Rampart's name on it, somewhere in their filing cabinet, not mine.
So if I take that DBAL into the states, and then attempt to bring it back with me, I have no paperwork allowing me to do so.
One could hope that keeping the receipt from a Canadian distributor and importer of record would be enough for most people, but from
what I understand reading my own DSP-83 forms (which could admittedly be wrong) is that the ITAR allowance for that product to be transferred out of the USA to the stated end user (Rampart in this example) is a one time thing.
Does that make a little more sense?
The problem is, we cannot really advise J-Man without knowing the specific product he's considering taking, and what paper-work he might have with it.
