Buying used audio equipment in peron in Canada


Anyone has ever bought used audio equipment in person in Canada and took it back to USA ? What is the cost associated with that. What taxes do you pay at the border ? What if you paid cash ? 
Thanks !

To the OP, ask the seller to write a receipt for the amount paid and declare it at the boarder. If you don’t declare it you may have get in trouble and pay tariffs and taxes on the new value of the item.

@allenf1963 Everyone seems to chalk Canada’s response to tariffs only.

As a Canadian, I truely believe our response would not be so aggressive if our country was not threatened to be taken over or absorbed on multiple occasions.

I would ask anyone who can’t understand our reaction to all of this, to please try to think about what you would do if the leader of another country voiced this type of desire towards your country.

newfzx7- Good points. I am one person living in the US and I apologize to ALL Canadians for the conduct of our government. That apology extends to the citizens of Greenland. To the OP, pay attention to the laws governing taking any item’s fixed or purchased across the border without paying appropriate fees. You might end up in prison.

it must be terrifying (besides surreal and incredibly dumb) and I am very sorry and embarrassed 

WHERE do you think Canada is going to be able to turn

yeah, I get that bully logic. Canada should just become your slave because they have limited options. Declaring Canada the 51st state, the president the governor is seriously the most primitive, disgusting threat I have heard in my lifetime. My fellow Americans continue to shock me.
