    Planning on ordering an item from the US in late summer, its roughly $100. With shipping the total would come to $132.33. I have no idea how custom laws/fees work, so would anyone here have an idea how much I'd be charged custom fees on $132.33? Thanks for your help :)

    yup you'll be charged on the full shipping value so as you said $132.33

    normally what i do is i convert that value into euro, and add 25% on for customs and etc. if it comes by courier they'll charge a €10-15 admin charge basically they pay the customs for you so you get your item quicker but they'll look for the custom charges plus their admin charge.
