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 sold a preamp to someone in France last week and UPS did all the customs paperwork. In a private sale, you can use some discretion in the declared value of the gear.

My preamp got to France and the buyer was very pleased at the shipping process. 

BTW - We used a payment system called WISE instead of the PIA PayPal.
