Paying taxes/duty on used goods purchased in Canada


Please let me know if I will have to pay any additional taxes etc...on a $6000 set of used speakers purchased from a seller in Canada. They will ship UPS.

Thanks for any insight my fellow Agoners.

Whoever your courier uses as a broker should be able to confirm the numbers. Contact the broker that way no surprises.   

Grannyring Where are speakers made? This will factor in due to NAFTA.

That’s one of the reasons I quit buying from Canada, (unless the item can be sent by mail and even then, it’s way more money than it should be. Like $15 or more for a frickin’ LP!).

ok maybe LP’s are a bad example, but you guys are getting 30 points minimum on every dollar purchase today. $6000 speakers from the US are costing us in Canada $8300 today.
