Vaguely thinking of importing a 5" Gravity Dropper from the states as i don't appear to be able to get one here.

Anyone know how much import tax I'd be paying on $320?

When i imported my frame and fork ($1225 & $553) i ended up paying £113 in duty/fees/VAT. My chap did mark down the cost on the customs declaration though (to trade prices so it was enough to claim on his insurance if it disappeared).

I shouldn't think it'll cost you much more than $30 and as the packet will be fairly small there's a good chance it'll arrive with no customs charges at all.

Standard is +20% (VAT) + 4.5% handling/import for bike parts.
