I would try to cultivate a relationship with some type of independent business that makes bulk purchases of items where Canada has a regional production or trade advantage, but where no one will care about a grey market. so, not communication technology with license agreements. but probably stuff like storage devices and equipment.
smuggling is relational. it's about being a middleman, limiting your crossings, making them count (high volume) and using a contact on the other side to facilitate distribution.
off the top of my head, beyond the tech sector, I think maple syrup and maple syrup production related equipment could be something.
might be good to think of something that people will want regularly, so they have incentive to keep the relationship going and not burn you for some reward.
as your attorney, I advise against this because customs enforcement are the American gestapo and they are on one even more than usual.
Hockey equipment too....
