As for the price you usually pay with customs, with most european countries its 15% to 18%.

My orders usually get shipped from customs to the postal service and i have to pay al the extra fee's when it gets deliverd at my door, thank god i don't have to pay extra for the postal service.
Al the extra money is the big downside to using EMS, but the box has to be shipped with EMS through CDjapan.
Usually i get my orders pretty fast, withing 2 days instead of 3-6.
But seriously the 18 days at customs for my USB was just ridiculous
