Buying speaker and amps from Canada to the US.Tax?

Hi, folks,

If anyone have any experience buying speakers/amps new/used from Canada to the US? Does the US custom charge tax? It seems that under NAFTA, if the speaker/amp is made in north america, it will be tax free, is this right? How about speakers made in England like B&W?

Anyone has any experience like to share?

Thanks a lot in advance...

Ups is the Issue not Canada or US Law. UPS money grab. They charge you a brokerage fee. Rip off fee is what it should be caled. If its under 70 Pounds Use the Postal service cross border. I bought a DVD player last week took 7 days to arrive. I paid the 15% Tax that was due and a 5.00 processing fee. Thats how easy it is. If UPS had handled it. They would have added about 40.00 to the transaction.
