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 bought an amp (made in UK) from a dealer in Ontario, shipped to Los Angeles. No fees if I recall correctly but the dealer indicated it was a possibility when he processed the sale. Not sure if it's relevant, but it was an open box demo.
