Paying taxes/duty on used goods purchased in Canada

Please let me know if I will have to pay any additional taxes etc...on a $6000 set of used speakers purchased from a seller in Canada. They will ship UPS.

Thanks for any insight my fellow Agoners.

In both cases the seller lived near the border and drove the items into the US and shipped them. They said the border guards never checked. Of course that depends on the check point. One seller said the US site was the nearest FedEx site and people did this all the time, especially for eBay sales. Might be harder with speakers.
