I can confirm your guess from my own experience. Bought some castings from a U.K. company a few years back for slightly over $1K and received a call from the shipper that I would have to pay a duty before the package could be released from customs. Other purchases over the years for less were never taxed. I do feel sorry for Europeans on that point. The closest I've experienced was living in Texas - no income tax, but a tax on just about every transaction you can imagine!
