2800 yen => 20,70€
shipping charge : 0
French VAT : 4€
Customs fee : 8€
Total: 32,70€
For SAL:
shipping charge: 7€
French VAT : 0
Customs fee : 0
Total : 28€
(usually SAL small parcels go through customs without being inspected / charged, but it can happen, about 10% chance I would say)
What about other countries, what do you pay for importing goods from Japan?

I pay 19% on the value of the goods plus a +/-15 euros fee for custom services because i didn't declare the goods...
For a resin kit I pay about 40 to 50 euros to custom services...
But ther are periods when the imported goods go through the services without being checked, especially on normal carton boxes without a companies name as HLJ
