Does anyone know how to estimate the tax of the parcel shipped from China - http://www.geekbuying.com/?

GeekBuying is an online electronics store in China (analogue to Amazon in UK or other Chinese online shopping sites such as AliExpress.com or dhgate.com). I want to know the tax for a small parcel ~ 2kg with 4 different products in it and a total cost of ~ 200$. What I know is that GeekBuying charges for DHL shipping ~18$ and they have warned me be aware of that DHL/EMS may result in custom tax which GeekBuying is not responsible for.

Shipped to the South its about 30% - they also include the shipping charge in this fee! Unless as they sometimes do they put it down as a gift! - then its free

Shipped here is anyones guess! I have had stuff delivered here and the charge as been 60%! - car parts! Plus DHL also charge/rip you off for cutoms clearance!

To be expected in this corrupt country.
