Here in Japan I paid ¥ 2,200 yen import tax.
I bought from overseas pretty often, but this was the first time I had to pay these taxes, so it really surprised me.
For whatever reason, even though DHL has shipped it from Hong Kong, and DHL exists here in Japan (I had them deliver packages before, even this year), they gave the package to SAGAWA (one of the many national delivery companies) to do the delivery.
