How much will I now pay in duties to ship a stylus from Japan?

Not that hard to use Google

I bought a cartridge from Yahoo Japan auction site. There were many extra charges and fees involved, but just a note that the buyer was responsible for any duties which were not included.

It was shipped to me.

AFTER I received it, about a week later, FedEx mailed me a separate invoice for:

1. 15% duty (applied only to the net cost of the item, not applied to the add-on bank transfer fee, bidding fee, in-country shipping fees or shipping to USA costs.

2. Disbursement fee, $4.50 that FedEx collects for themselves.

total amounted in that case to +19%

I have read that sometimes they ring your bell and ask for you to pay the extra charges on the spot, in my case they delivered it and are trusting me to pay their bill.

That’s also exactly what happened to me recently, buying a used cartridge from Netherlands, via FedEx (actually, they auto-charged my card on file). If you’re buying new product from a manufacturer or scrupulous retailer, they might include tariffs in the total price and pay it up front. But when buying used - expect the above sequence.

If you are purchasing on Ebay, they have a SpeedPak option where they calculate the shipping and fees up front and add it to the cost of goods. You just pay whatever the total invoice is when completing your order and wait for it to be delivered. Tracking is included, though I'm not sure if there is a total value limit on the item you're purchasing.
