And sometimes, if you have a shipment that's under 350NOK (item and shipping combined) they'll check if the value goes over the limit if VAT is added, then you're also charged.

My set was around 150$ and I got charged 'bout $55 in custom fees if I remember correctly
That stinks, it's a shame shipping costs and import fees make a lot of these items even more expensive for people outside the US.

I had to pay around $40 on import fees on each of the four Neca movie Turtles for example.
