Was thinking about getting a tanabe dumkudo. Is there an import duty coming into the US?

virtually every Chinese seller/distributor I've bought from (5 or 6) has, without prompting or suggestion by me, marked the item as a 'gift' or more frequently as a 'sample', so they can get around US import regs.
At first I didn't notice, then I thought it was cool cuz it saved me a couple bucks, but nowadays I'm pissed at the practice because it's just not right and I'm making it tougher for US makers to compete.
When I bought my Drybell Vibe Machine I got a bill from Fed Ex about two weeks later for about $40.
Don't let Europeans ship you anything by courier, only by mail, or you will get socked with large random bills by Fedex, UPS, etc

Even with no customs fees, UPS, FEDEX, or DHL often mails me a $40 bill for their paperwork handling, to carry the pedal through customs. Thanks!
