Here in Brazil we have to pay an import tax even when using regular mail, and the tax is a whooping 60% of your product's value for anything above US$50. If its receipt is attached (to the box, visibly), it will charge 60% of that receipt. If there's no receipt, customs will open your package, check what it is, google for it and charge you 60% of probably the highest price they can find online for it. If it's a gift, you have to hope they will accept it to be a gift (generally will charge you the 60% if it comes in a sealed box).

That's why I mostly don't even enter online contests with physical prizes. Not even when Wacom had my very desired Cintiq 21x as a prize - I'd have to pay over US$1500 to be allowed to receive it.
