[Hallicrafters] OT - shipping question

[wf2u at ws19ops.com]

As a collector who imported a number of "boatanchors" from overseas  
and from Canada, I can say I'm experienced with these things...

The receiver (I assume is a used one and you're not a dealer importing  
it for resale) is considered personal import of "household" or "hobby"  
items  and it's exempt from duty.
New ham equipment imported by a dealer for resale is subject to duty  
at the rate of 3% of the value.
