I could be ordering an Edwards strat and Edwards Les Paul from Japan at the same time from the same shop and Im wondering will I get chaged import duties and tax on both of them? or if its in the same package just one?

If they're in the same package, the value of the package will be the cost of both instruments so you will be taxed on both either way.

Discussion of how to avoid tax will result in bannings.
