FWIW:
When I bought 4x of the JDM underpanels several months ago, my duty was 2.9%. After the FedEx brokerage fees, I paid $~23 on $800 in goods.
A decent seller will make sure the items are shipped in a manner that is trackable. And protect yourself by documenting the purchase, so you can have charges reversed if it ends up being fraud. No point in having it declared as a gift to save a few bucks, and lose out on any claim for reimbursement in case of lost shipment.
