Ended up having to pay 150$ more mainly for brokerage fees (85$) and rest is standard taxes and duties.
At 485$ total, the potential savings are pretty much gone and it would've probably been cheaper to get it locally.

Amen, i got hit the same way 2 weeks ago. Outrageous. I never will use UPS. The order was for 300$US and the duties / taxes was 108$ !! WTF.
I know better, but the ECS checkout via paypal defaults to UPS, and if you click " continue" it'll let you select your shipper. Hmm.
Now, I just ship to my american address and drive down and bring it back. Even that, 35$ to ship a cable is still nuts.
