As the seller advised, that is your responsibility to research and pay.  Go to U.S. Customs website and look it up.

It is not a good idea to post your name and email address in a public forum.

be on the lookout now for personalized emails from scammer and spammers..

 

As to Internet purchases.. there is lots of information for you here

 

Information for US buyers  from US CBP  about  Internet Purchases:

http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/basic_trade/internet_purchases.xml

 


and for purchases less than $200, you can expect to pay no customs duty.
