In my experience of shipping bikes and parts, it's generally a ~$50 flat fee for brokerage clerical charges no matter what and Russian roulette on import tax fees. Coming from us to Canada there are various import rules of taxation on new vs used related bikez: us parts, us manufacturers, frame, frame+wheels. And however customs decides to tax. I've gotten a new Marino frame with no costs. I've paid $125 for a used frame and fork and been hit with $70 tax. They make it really really frustrating and annoying. Haha.
