Buying speaker and amps from Canada to the US.Tax?


Hi, folks,

If anyone have any experience buying speakers/amps new/used from Canada to the US? Does the US custom charge tax? It seems that under NAFTA, if the speaker/amp is made in north america, it will be tax free, is this right? How about speakers made in England like B&W?

Anyone has any experience like to share?

Thanks a lot in advance...

I believe Rgd is correct on duty, but duty is different from Tax. Nafta does not protect us against the taxes. Fortunately, tax going from Canada to the US is not the problem--it's going from US to Canada where Canada charges the VAT which is pretty hefty (don't know the figure right now, but perhaps someone else does).
