All imports should be charged with custom tax, by laws, and please pay the tax when you receive the package. Tax rate varies country to country. However, in most countries custom office do not charges to all package, and pick a few "Victims" to levy tax from hundreds of packages imported.

In the US, the tax rate is 5-6%, but the chance of taxation is about one out of 50-100 packages.

Canada, Australia, Italy custom office catches all packages passing the border for tax. Rate is Canada 10-30%, Australia 10-30%, Italy 30%.

For your reference, tax is calculated by the declared value. And it is also used as insurance value for the package.
