Buying a power cord from France, import duty and taxes?

do it its fine I live in Canada and have never had issues shipping anywhere in the world. shipping is not that expensive as some here would say. I've bought and sold many items to / from the USA, Netherlands, UK,  etc. and never had an issue. one member said it depends on shipping method I've always used a reputable international shipping company or preferably the countries postal service as they will hand off to your US postal service in the end. Always insure and claim full costs better to pay the duties if applicable then get hosed if it gets lost.   

You should be fine particularly buying a cable where the aspect of the product being damaged is out of the equation. And the cable is in fact US goods returned as it was made in the US. The shipper is doing nothing wrong and assuming the plugs are the correct type and the seller has good feedback you have little to worry about.
