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,

I've bought several used items from Canada shipped to me in USA. Never paid any extra fee except eBay and PayPal fees, and tax the system now collects, even on used items, even tax on shipping cost.

I always have the item insured based on it's value rounded up, you end up paying tax on that also.
