air shipping can be 3-7 days , by boat about 4-6 weeks
at a guess id imagine it will be approx 30% plus a collection fee form the shipping company
some people might ask the seller to mark it as a lower value
but thats up to you
you will probably get a more accurate anwser on the ebay board on here, and customs have a website , duty varies on differant items0
