If the product was made in the usa, or mexico I think...you don't pay duty. Part of the free trade agreement. Anywhere else and you pay it, not sure what the percentage is. I know someone that gets the person to lable it a gift, but they caught on to her eventually. It may work for you though if the seller is willing to do it.
Only SOME things are covered, one must go to the library and look up in the Customs Duty book what they are bringing in. Then send the shipper the customs # for the type of item. Then the best rate will apply, otherwise some lazy A$$ just picks a # out of the air...ie:Bathroom deoterizer(the kind in the auto despenser in public toilets) can in listed as perfume - a higher rate.
UPS and other companies tack a large amount on for Brokerage fees - I've had to pay $23 on a $10 item....auurgh..plus the incorrect cutoms item number....oh you can complain and fill out the forms and call back and send e-mails and........then just swallow it....damn.
