buying goods from over seas

I recently bought a synth from the states & after paying
over $50 for shipping the guy delivering the package hands
me a bill of a further £37!!..... (maybe around
$60?)........ thats over $100 just for shipping & the item
was only a groove box sized desktop synth!! fuck
sake........

My question is..... does anyone have a way of getting around
this tax bill issue?.... just for future reference

if you travel to america to pick it up and manage to sneak
it through customs, you'll be ok.

....... I mean, if a parcel is sent as a gift can it still
be insured?

This is a problem in Ukraine, seems. You just can't buy
goods from UK or US... so we're all saving money here:)
