Shipping from Canada to US (Duty and taxes) | Buying

Hey everyone, Just looking for some insight. I recently purchased quite a bit of items from Ebay, some from the US. I think the post office may have my first item being delivered from the US. When I buy from the US, I first pay shipping through ebay. The item is sent to the Ebay international hub in which I then receive an email from DHL stating I need to pay "Import Tax" and a "Duty fee." The first item from the US is being held at the post office because there is now another amount I need to pay and I am not sure what it is for. Maybe an item slipped through without me paying the import tax and duty fee? Or do I pay an additional tax on top of the "Import tax" and "Duty fee" DHL charges, does anybody know? EDIT: To clarify, I am from Canada.
