The percentage is normally 15% for China, but for specific categories of products it can go up as high as 533%
Well, one time someone bought a videogame that was 98 USD and ended paying 1500 Pesos as custom costs (thats like 110 USD for customs, more than the price of the game >.<)

Still, if Astak is sending international orders for USPS i dont think customs get too high, heck they may even let it slip and at the end i will not be paying anything =D
