Shipping from US to Canada

Hi everyone,

I've never bought anything over the net before, but would like to know how the US-CAN shipping works. Let's say I buy a headphone amp for 200 USD used ... will they charge me tax on this (even though it's used)? If I ship with UPS, which is the cheapest, can I tell the seller to fix the value at say, 50 USD (and hence, pay less tax), but still have UPS insure it for 200 USD? I figure this is not too outrageous since the purchase could be something with zero market value, but worth a lot for the individual.

Thank You.

For used components under $1000.00cdn use USPS (us post)
you will pay nominal fees (usps don't insure for over 675.00us)....For components over $1000.00cdn
Use anybody except UPS They are the most expensive and often they damage the merchandise.. I've just receive a used Linn LP12 the table have serious damage and they charged me $331.50cdn for taxes and brokage fees...And i'm still waiting (more than a week now) for somebody to come and see the damage. I have told the seller not to ship UPS.
He did it :-(
