I've just imported a few million dollars worth of equipment from around the world for work and the deal there was,
Get a certificate of Origin USA from Manufacturer, must leave a US port, need a commercial invoice and pay GST (which you can reclaim if you or a friend get a business to buy it!!!), you can get them to write a commercial invoice for a lower value but that may affect insurance value and if you get caught your're up for a fine, Gotta love free trade, if they come from Canada it's 10% duty, although I'm not sure of the deal with second hand stuff.
We've been importing full 20ft containers for around $3-5k
