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.

When UPS delivered it I owed $45. Not sure how it was assessed but it seems Fedex and UPS charge the fee. With the CAD to USD exchange rate good deals are to be had from our northern neighbors.
