Has anybody imported used equipment into the US?


I'm looking at a pair of used speakers for more than $20,000. HHow has it been dealing with customs? About how much did you pay, and did it take awhile til the speakers were released?

Thanks,
David

Try: http://www.customs.gov/xp/cgov/import Here you can decipher the duty rates per country for imports into the United States.
Of coarse you'll pay duty on gear imported that wasn't built in North America. You'll also take a risk as they may indeed unpackage them for examination. I believe the last thing I bought had a duty of 9 or 10 percent. That's a drop in the bucket when it comes to 20k for speakers. Why put it all there? After looking at your system. You could scale back and make other areas better. Then again considering "money no object". It's yours and have fun spending it as you choose!
