Buying used from Canada


Hi, if you are based in USA and you buy used hifi from Canada do you get taxed on it when it arrives?  Talking about $2000ish.  Or if you use fed-ex will it come straight through?  Thanks for your time

I am very lucky (or smart, it was my choice) to live in Australia. 

Just picked up flat packs from the Swedish company IKEA to fit out a laundry.  The cupboard carcasses are made in China, the doors come from Italy, the wood bench top was manufactured in Romania, the hinges come from Poland, the catches from Slovenia and the rails come from Taiwan.  Ordered from the local IKEA showroom and the whole lot was ready to be picked up from the warehouse just down the road minutes later.  That's free trade in action.

I don’t follow the political scene as I don’t like either side but there must be a reason Trump did the tariff thing. What were the trade agreements like with everyone before all this started ? Were they fair to the US?
