Importing used Audio equipment to Canada


What has been your experience with purchasing used audio equipment in the US and importing it to Canada. Are the custom fees reasonable ?

I would echo the comments that the duty for gear manufactured in North america is 0 and all you pay is 7% gst. If it is from out of north america the rate varies but is generally 6 to 7%. The other downside is that it is calculated in cad, not usd so you pay more. I agree with the usps and better shippers because some will nail you with a 50 dolllar brokerage fee. Good luck.
