    I've decided I'm going to order the game in Japanese, and I went to put my order in on play-asia.com ($64.00 or so for the game, and shipping is anywhere from $5-18 depending on how fast you want it), but I noticed at the bottom of my summary before confirming the purchase it said..

    Total value does not contain any duty & taxes for destinations outside Hong Kong. Please ALWAYS ask your local customs office if in doubt (Duty free import USA up to US$200, E.U. EUR 22). Duty & tax consists of your local GST/VAT rate and a processing fee. Play-Asia.com cannot predict the amount of these fees and cannot be held liable for any loss or damage as a result of any duties & fees or possible inaccurate information herein.

    I live in Arizona. Am I going to be hit with some fees out of nowhere? And is there any way to avoid being hammered with having to pay another $15-20?

    Maybe you should ask them because it doesn't provide much discussion here.
