Bringing work goods across border

Bringing work goods across border - A Man and a Woman Working for a Delivery Company

I work for a company headquartered in the United States, but I live and work in Canada, just across the border. The head office has purchased laptops for two of my coworkers and myself, but they were shipped to our headquarters in the US instead of my address in Canada.

I am considering having them ship the laptops to a location close to me in the USA, then going down and bringing them across the border myself. Work has already told me they will cover any applicable duty or taxes at the border; however, there are two questions I have not been able to answer:

  1. Is there any personal liability for myself in bringing these across the border?
  2. Are there any forms I need to fill out in order to do this?
