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...

There should be no duty/tax when purchasing Canadian made gear going into the US. Thats not to say that a freight service like UPS wouldn't charge brokerage fees. But buying European products via Canada might incur somem duty - at least thats the case when buying Euro gear via the US - 6% if memory serves me right.
