On some items there's duty, and then there's a tax called VAT (value added tax) and finally the carrier usually charge a fee for the pleasure of handling that duty and payment for you.
Edit, added: I'm in DK where the VAT rate is a bit higher - an Oberon Kindle cover which I've been looking at sells for $75. Shipping, VAT plus fees will make the total price approx. $150. I thought 'forget it!'
