Import from Mexico

Hello fellow audiogoners. I am in the US and want to purchase a piece of gear from Mexico. Does anyone know what typical duties and taxes etc. are? I don't want to be surprised. I contacted UPS and they were not very helpful.

Thanks,
Todd

I had to pay $60 and change duty/brokerage for a $1000 preamp that I bought from a guy in Canada. It's a Musical Fidelity preamp, mande in Great Britain. As I understand it, if the item you're purchasing is manufactured in North America (including Mexico), there is no duuty, but maybe some with more expertise can confirm this for you.

If the piece was made in the USA then no taxes or duties.
