Purchase from Canada

Hi.

I (in New York) would like to purchase an amp from a Canadian audiogoner and am wondering whether the transaction will attract customs duties, etc.

In the past, I sold a piece to a Candian audiogoner and the poor guy had the speakers stuck at custom for a month and ended up having to pay something like 20% duty.  Is the same thing going to happen to me?

Thanks,

State tax plus possible duty and brokerage would apply.

Your best bet would be to pony up for the fastest rate of shipping which in my experience nets you the lowest fees and also minimizes the chances of shipping damage.  

Have the seller mark the item clearly as used will help.  Undervalue at your own risk, I've done it but again only with the fastest shipping option being used.
