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.

That's ridiculous. I've crossed from the US to Canada and back countless times. I've always been treated with the utmost professionalism by agents on both sides of the border.
