Buying an item from Canada


Can anyone explain to me what is involved in buying an item from a Canadian seller and shipping into the U.S.  The item would be valued at $2500 CAD. What type of duty and taxes will be due?  The item is built in China. Will the shipping take longer than usual?  Thanks for any help.

Best shipping is via the mail, shouldn’t take too long. If it’s used goods I don’t think there any duty. If new they may be but for most things I’ve bought I’ve never been charged it.   All in all buying and selling across this border is about as easy as dealing in the USA
