I have crossed 3 times in the past but that was before I got this roof box installed on the top of my car. I recall the border agents asking if I had any items to declare; to which I told them that I just have clothes, toiletries and such. So then my process of getting over was really easy compared to someone with many large items or a big truck or something that would need to be inspected or to someone who would need to go declare items.

I can take it off. It just takes a little effort.

So I am wondering should I take this thing off of my car before my trip as to avoid wasting my time on a long travel day with either being inspected or having to declare the thing? It will be empty.
