It is my understanding that one has to input only the information as it pertains to that 1 single item, otherwise it may appear that you are shipping 2 items.
In the 1980's and 1990's the vast majority of LP covers used by indie labels in the US were printed by Ross-Ellis in Montreal with the discs made locally (US or Canada). They usually state Printed in Canada on the jackets, the discs themselves usually say Made In USA. I got out of the business in 2001, my guess is that they continued to be the leading printer at least until the Canada Dollar zoomed to $1.10 vs the US Dollar.
On the reverse, many of the Canadian Major labels imported US covers from their US HQ and then pressed the records in Canada so it's very common to see this dual country thing.
It really doesn't mattter which country you use, I would just go by the markings on the jackets, there is no need to complicate matters with two different country of origin declarations. As mentioned by @mrdutch1001 they both qualify for the US$800 de minimus exemption under CUSMA.
