Buying used from Canada

Hi, if you are based in USA and you buy used hifi from Canada do you get taxed on it when it arrives? Talking about $2000ish. Or if you use fed-ex will it come straight through? Thanks for your time

Prior to 2025 when I received goods from Canada via USPS I never paid Duties or taxes. Can't say what will happen in 2025 but for certain you will pay if shipped via UPS or FedEx.

I have no idea what the process would be like today.
