It depends on who you are buying from. This is the order of magnitude of the fee if you let the shipping company handle it. It is extortionate and they do it because at this point buyers don’t have a choice if they want their stuff.

Companies that are used to dealing with foreign customers handle taxes themselves and don’t charge processing fees.
