Is that the total when you did the Paypal checkout? They might add other fees upon delivery. Don't believe they charge tax though. I got quoted $1,735.07 shipped to port. Then I'm getting slammed with a $56.00 and $70.00 fee, besides a Customs Duty fee.
Total coming out to $1861.07 before Customs Duty fee, already more than what you are paying.

Then again, exchange rate is better now for us, being that $1USD = 98.96 Japanese Yen, whereas when I ordered, $1USD = 93.68 Japanese Yen.

I chose to ship to port being clever that we can avoid fees, but in the end, get screwed. Lesson learned, just ship to door haha. Saves yourself the hassle of dealing with customs and they deliver it to you, and it arrives faster.

Edit:
Turns out customs was chill and didn't charge me anything more haha.
