import duty sending used gear from Canada to USA

Duty calculator .com stated no duty applied to used gear purchased in Canada and shipped to USA. I purchased used gear from someone in Canada and having it shipped. The unit was manufactured in South Korea.

Has anyone had recent fees charged to a similar purchase? What is the safest, most efficient and least likely to be assessed duty or other fees?

Thank you.

I purchased 2 items from Canada. In both cases, the seller drove them into the US and shipped them. Great sellers. I remember one said that there was a large FedEx store just across the border in the US, because so many people shipped to the US, especially for eBay. Other than that, I have been pretty careful not to get items from Canada, just in case.

Sfar's comments are important. US/Canadian made products should not be an issue, although they may be held up. Anything else may be a problem.
