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 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? 

I just ordered something from Stack in England. The first time they used Royal Mail and there were no extra charges. This time they used FedEx. I will let you know if there are any additional fees when I get the shipment. The first shipment was about a month ago, if that matters. 

It's completely unpredictable. I lived in Washington State and bought a pair of ProAc speakers, made in England, from an individual in British Columbia, Canada. Drove up to fetch them and spent close to an hour at the border with a pair of confused customs agents. They finally arrived at what seemed like a completely arbitrary tariff fee of about $200 based on the fact that they were manufactured in England. I paid it and fled south.
