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.

The cut-off for import into canada, for duties taxes and brokerage fees, is $20cdn. anything over that and you get the whole thing thrown at you.

The same for import into the USA, is $200US. anything valued lower than that just goes through like regular mail.
