Buying a power cord from France, import duty and taxes?

Hi,

I would like to buy a used power cord (that was originally made in USA) from someone in France.  He said he would mark "US goods returned" on the package, so I won't have to pay any import duty and taxes.  Is this true?  Thanks for your comments and/or sharing your experience on buying overseas.

Since your buying from Europe, which Id have no hesitations doing, does the Power cord your buying have a US plug on it ?  If your handy it will not be an issue of course changing it if needed - but if not ?  

Good Listening
