I've never dealt with recieving a package from out of the US, so I don't know how much the US does with it. But I have a friend from canada and another one from romania who ran into pretty big fees when they bought some stuff from people in the US, they even tried saying it was a gift but they still had to pay. I think the US is a little more leniant then most countries but the friend in Romanio bought some OCZ plat from a friend and they wanted $300 if fees when they arrived because it wasn't in their data base so they put the maximum value on it, well they ended up "proving" it was under $50 and go away with no fees. Its all a matter of import policies and the US is one of the more open countries but you're better off checking.
