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? 

If you think about it for a minute. We audiophiles worry about paying more money in a tax or a tariff for a piece of audio equipment we want. How petty and ridiculous when you stand back and look at the larger picture. Our allies and their leaders are hating us because of our deranged lunatic leader. When such a man like Adolf tried to create a nation of a super race and failed the world hated Nazi Germans for decades. All German people were labeled this way. Now you see America being labeled. It’s a tragedy.

I'm from NYC, I visit Montreal and sometimes other parts of Canada regularly. Not too long ago I was in the Charlevoix region of Quebec (very beautiful btw) and I was following some 'food trail' thing. I ran into a farm where they made wine from tomatoes. Who knew? If I recall, the farmer was of Belgian descent and explained to us that at some point in WWII the Nazis confiscated grapes and/or grape wine so the Belgians learned to make wine from tomatoes. I tasted it and it was quite good. So we bought a case without checking how much we were allowed to bring back duty-free. When driving back, I declared the tomato wine (and told the story) and expressed embarrassment at not knowing that I was over the limit. He just looked at me and basically said 'just get the hell out of here', which I did lol.
