No one has touched on the customs issue --
Some manufacturers (have no idea if it applies to this case) have worldwide product versions and USA product versions and the do not allow the worldwide version to be imported to USA. Also warranties are no good in USA. Cameras are major issue for this. This sometimes called "gray market import."
Believe as far as custom duties -- this would be lumped in with the total personal $800 exemption
