OT: Import tax on stuff from States

I wanna order a grill from the states but the only thing holding me back is that I hear theres crazy import taxes? Have any of you had to pay this crap? and how much... Also, what I might be ordering is the lower mesh grill and RS grill for $58 shipped. That sound like a good deal?

Thanks

for the record:

Gusto sells the....
unpainted altezza grill for $100
CF grill for $150
RS grill for $100 or $150 (i dont remember which one)

if u buy from USA, tell the seller sends it with USPS ONLY (**** UPS and FedEX, yes i said **** them) because they will charge u extra fee called Broker fees and handling fee for the parcel sit in their warehouse. and most importantly it wont work if u tell the guy marked the item as a gift. so tell him/her marked the package as "WARRANTY REPLACEMENT" so that way it might help u avoid all duty taxes by all mean.

i am speaking from experience because i bought a lot of **** from the states (cellphones, clothes, acccessories, car stuffs....etc) and UPS is the best so far.

good luck
