Your friend is from the U.S. and buying it from you while in Canada? - then crossing the border with it on the way back home?
If this is the case I don't know why there would be a problem of any kind - providing a bill of sale accompanies the item. The U.S. customs folks might apply a tax or duty but beyond that there should not be a problem - but check with them directly for the definitive answer.

I wouldn't think there would be a problem. I might be mistaken but I think the border patrol checks to make sure that you are crossing the border legally and you have no contraband. If the question is about paying taxes on the item, if he has a receipt for the purchase, I think he would be alright.
