A few years back i purchased a Mechadoll (Direct from the from themanufacturer) in USA .
She was around £3500 once she got to UK customs i had to pay almost £600 in taxes to the Uk goverment so that i could have this doll in my home.
So yes if its a doll shipped from the USD then you will be hit with import charges.
If she is sent from China "most" vendors include the tax in the price of the doll..
