Valuable vintage coat. How do I get it from US to Canada without high duties?

It's worth about $500. It's not a gift but it was manufactured in the US and it's about 70 years old. It's also for my own personal use. I once bought a vintage item worth $150 and I was charged $25 in duties. What could I reasonably expect to pay for an item with such a high price?

The duty rate in the Canada Customs Tariff for "worn clothing", which is manufactured in the US is 0%, but there will also be GST and PST as applied in your province

(Harmonised Code 6309.00.90 00)

If the package is inspected, you will also be charged a brokerage fee. Canada Post's rate is usually about $8. UPS is more ($20-30).
