I don't expect to have to pay much if any customs on the Kobo reader. I do a lot of shipping from the US to all over the world and for small ticket items customs duties/taxes tend to be low if there are any at all.

The shipping was less than $10 US so I bet it will shipped via the post office and I've never had to pay customs on any item shipped that way. The only time I had to pay customs was on some expensive musical instruments ($2K +) shipped from Europe via UPS and that was less than 10% of the value.
