Excellent idea to call ahead first.  Also call US Customs, as you will need
to bring the items back across.

The last time I took a truck into Canada full of display materials (about 15
years back), we had to hire a broker to handle the paperwork and to post a
bond.  Canada wants to make sure that the goods come back to the US with you.
 You may be able to do this yourself at the border, but call first.

I would imagine that this is a common practice.  I've driven across the
border many times with sales presentation materials in my trunk, including
samples.  If I had a truck or anything that would be considered a commercial
vehicle, I would plan in advance.
