Buying an item from Canada


Can anyone explain to me what is involved in buying an item from a Canadian seller and shipping into the U.S.  The item would be valued at $2500 CAD. What type of duty and taxes will be due?  The item is built in China. Will the shipping take longer than usual?  Thanks for any help.

In my experience, from a private seller, shipping takes double the normal time to go through customs and such.
