It would be coming from Canada to Oregon.

So long as the spoiler you're purchasing is less than $2,000.00 value, which I'm sure it is, the process is pretty straight forward if they send it through the post (Canada Post / US Mail).
Here's a link if you want to read it in depth:

Just make sure they declare the item properly and use the correct value. I believe the correct harmonized tariff number for a body part of a car would be: 8708.29.5060 and should be 2.9% duty. So I'm guessing you shouldn't pay more than $15 in duty. If that much. And there's no VAT or GST going 'south' like Canadians have to worry about in the opposite direction.
You'll get a postal notice to come to your local post office to pay and they'll deliver it to you a few days later.
For a small, private shipment like this, don't go through UPS. But make sure the shipper insures it.
