Buying used audio equipment in peron in Canada


Anyone has ever bought used audio equipment in person in Canada and took it back to USA ? What is the cost associated with that. What taxes do you pay at the border ? What if you paid cash ? 
Thanks !

Canada is very much it's own country with it's own laws. Any relation to the UK is symbolic. Our country is far more intertwined with the US than any other country in the world.

Any "pushing and shoving " is bad for both countries.  

be  honest , declare  and  confirm  with  a  bill of  sale, it  is  basically  a  tax that  has  to  be  paid, USA, an Canadian  customs  are  also  there  to  help/assist  you,  any  doubts  call  your closest  customs  office. good  luck. 

btw I am planning to buy a used amp from Canada. So if it's shipped, the carrier will take care of collecting whatever the applicable fee is? They will hold it until I pay the customs and fees? 

I bought several audio items from Canada in the past, and there were no issues, it was shipped and arrived without any fees and the proper paperwork. I guess it was the shipper's side who documents it? 

 

If you think about it for a minute. We audiophiles worry about paying more money in a tax or a tariff for a piece of audio equipment we want. How petty and ridiculous when you stand back and look at the larger picture. Our allies and their leaders are hating us because of our deranged lunatic leader. When such a man like Adolf tried to create a nation of a super race and failed the world hated Nazi Germans for decades. All German people were labeled this way. Now you see America being labeled. It’s a tragedy.
