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.

How about the actual fee schedule (assumed current):

If it's like importing into Canada, you will have to pay the brokerage plus a disbursement fee and a COD fee.

Duties - I don't know, but would assume at least 6%.  Taxes - depends on were you live.

Just assume the worst, and if the deal still makes sense, go for it.
