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 received a parts order several days ago from Hifi Collective in England, and there were no tariff or customs charges, just the FedEx shipping charge.  That was the third order from Hifi Collective in the last two months and there were no tariff or customs charges on any of them.  I have no idea why.

Canada has had sky high tariffs on American goods for decades, some as high as 250%. Trump is trying to level the playing field. Canada currently has an imbalance of trade with us of about $50 billion. Trump would like them to get that down to around $30 billion.

In the past, even Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schummer agreed we needed more reciprocal tariffs. Other nations of the EU, the UK, Japan, Vietnam, South Korea and of course communist China, have had similarly high tariffs on us.

These tariffs have put American workers at a disadvantage all these years.

That's fiction. Propaganda, really.
