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 !

@devinplombier Me getting tedious? You're kidding, right? Soon after I factually refuted your comment, my post was deleted, only for to you say what I refuted again. What, pray tell, does that seem like to anyone following this thread?

It could be some admirer of yours or the silent type who's afraid to post and lets you do all the talking but to me, you're all from the same cloth and are interchangeable.

Canada is very much it's own country with it's own laws. Any relation to the UK is symbolic. Our country is far more intertwined with the US than any other country in the world.

Any "pushing and shoving " is bad for both countries.  

be  honest , declare  and  confirm  with  a  bill of  sale, it  is  basically  a  tax that  has  to  be  paid, USA, an Canadian  customs  are  also  there  to  help/assist  you,  any  doubts  call  your closest  customs  office. good  luck. 

btw I am planning to buy a used amp from Canada. So if it's shipped, the carrier will take care of collecting whatever the applicable fee is? They will hold it until I pay the customs and fees? 

I bought several audio items from Canada in the past, and there were no issues, it was shipped and arrived without any fees and the proper paperwork. I guess it was the shipper's side who documents it?
