trading in Alaska

Keep in mind you may be asked about goods you have on board as you pass through Canada customs, everything is subject to inspection and must be declared. As you arrive into Alaska, you might be asked about anything you have on board that you won't have on board when you leave Alaska.

I don't think this will be a problem - they do have to be declared and are subject to inspection. Canadian Customs will want to make sure that if you entered Canada with three trailers, that you also leave Canada with the same three trailers unless you declare that you sold them, paid the taxes on the sale and the import fees.

Alaska / US Customs won't really worry about it. You left the US with three trailers that you'll have receipts for and you re-entered the US with the same three trailers and then left them in the US (Alaska). This is really no different than buying an enclosed trailer in Texas, packing your household goods in it, moving to Alaska and then selling the trailer.
