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.
