Default Duties on Home Theatre in a Box

Hi,

I was thinking of buying the Sony HTSF2000 in the States since it's 100 dollars cheaper than here (Canada). However, I was wondering what sort of duties I would have to pay.

Does anyone have any experience or general knowledge about this?

Thanks.

depends where you're buying it off of...
certain sites wont put the cost of the item on the box which = no duties (i think) but most online stores you do pay duties

I'd probably just drive over to Detroit and pick it up. No online purchasing since I live so close.

Thank you very much.

Looks like it'll be much cheaper in the States.
