Ensure that any shipping company that you contract with, also is including the brokerage fees and customs handling when crossing the border. Often, they do not include those costs in their quotes.
I imported some car parts from Canada and the shipments were stopped at the border, because the shipping company did not include or arrange for the border crossing documentation. I had to hire a separate brokerage firm to handle the NAFTA paperwork while the shipments sat in a customs warehouse in Toronto, waiting to cross the border. Cost an extra $100 per item, in addition to the freight and importation tax.
Make sure to find out everything you need to know/do, and make all arrangements in advance.

Might be too hard to do with an engine block though, but works for cylinder heads etc.
