"If I remember correctly, the fee is customs + shipping costs, however".
I believe with DHL and FedEx that's the case, very straightforward. With UPS it's shipping + UPS's own brokerage fee, which covers customs fees and is typically more than the actual fees. I only use DHL, FedEx and USPS for international shipping now so my memory may be off on this.
