A "hefty" VAT? Its the normal VAT. Its nothing "special" about that VAT. It depends from country to country and is about ~20%.
Then there is the customs duty. That is something very very different from the VAT - which can become very high if the sender declared the package wrong.
And then there is the courier fee. Again, something very different.
