I have found this lens to be most excellent at close distances,
at any aperture. However, it is not a really great lens beyond a
few feet focusing distance. In normal shooting distances, I
would put it on par, optically, with the 40mm f/2.8.
What with the theoretical free trade agreement between our two
countries, there shouldn't be much duties and the like to pay at
your end. Make sure the seller fills out a customs declaration,
and purchases sufficient insurance. Any duties are your
responsibility to pay.
If you can talk the seller into it, have them ship it as a gift
(still with an insured value of course). This will avoid most
duties or taxes that your government would want to collect.
