Customs/taxes for ordering a phone online

Hello,

was just wondering how much would the customs charge for ordering let's say one cell phone online.
I think there is customs + VAT + other stuff.

Also, what kind of items are customs free usually? and does this mean TVA is still to be paid?

I say wait it out, until someone can deliver it for you. I've gotten screwed on so many things that I've ordered.
Hell, I even had to send a PDA to get repaired in the states. I had it shipped BACK to me and I had to pay money for it.

How messed up is that? I send it out FROM Lebanon and then BACK in. The same product...I had to pay again for it. I paid something like $100. That pissed me off.
