I've never had anything from CDJapan hit by customs. I'm expecting that to change though as I've just spent £100 on a dress from them. I use unregistered SAL and get stuff marked as gifts. A lot of what I order from them is books though, which are exempt from VAT.
As for AmiAmi, that's massively variable. I've had a ¥3500 nendoroid get through, but a ¥2000 figure got hit. I wish Royal Fail's ransom charge was scalable according to the tax. I wouldn't mind so much if it was an £1 or so charge on £6 of tax, but usually the ransom fee is more than the tax.... I went to my sorting office with a grey card once and the bloke was not impressed by my calling it a ransom note :lol:
