I have been avoiding purchases from the USA for several months now.
Any “ball park” dollar amounts (flat rate or percent) I can expect to pay on Import Fees?
Thank You kindly.

I did place some US mint and eBay USA orders on behalf of a friend and paid out customs to DHL and UPS, I’ll let you know the % once I add them all up

Buying via eBay is 10% for Australia. This is collected up front when checking out. Sometimes you do feel it's a bit unfair if the product is not available in this country. We used to have $800 free for imports. I have been buying much less from eBay because of the tax.

I paid 13% on customs btw, guess it was just the HST
