Paying import tax fees to the U.S. from out of the country?

[ymba]

Has anyone have to pay an import tax fee getting shipments from out of seas to the US for your collectibles?

I just bought something and got a notice Import tax is due for the first time :0

I thought to the US, there is typically never an import tax unlike purchase made from the US to out of the country

depends on the price of the item and what the shipper insured it for. I got hit on a $2500 piece from Canada before.
