What types of extra fees (sales tax, customs charges) come with buying...

...internationally over the internet? I'm trying to decided whether or to purchase something from Sweden and have it shipped to me in the US. I've found in my research that Sweden has a 25% VAT but when I look at my order before I submit, it is not included.

Will I have to pay tax on my purchase? Also, is there any fee that I will have to pay to get through US customs? The total for the order is roughly 270 USD if that makes any difference.

Thanks!
