Buying HHKB through Tenso proxy?

[ajx]

Hey i want to buy an HHKB on amazon.co.jp and use an proxy like Tenso

If i am right:
-> register on Tenso
-> order on Amazon.co.jp and then ship directly to Tenso adress
-> usage fees (580 yens) + shipping cost (around 2000/5000 yens)

So the whole cost would be cheaper than those HHKB sold on other plat-form (european Amazon marketplace, ebay...)
I live in Europe, and HHKB cost around 220/250 euros
I simulated the real cost, HHKB (21852 yens) + usage fees (580) + SAL shipping method (1880 yens) * bank fees (2%) = 24800 yens
So its much cheaper if i avoid custom tax

Do i miss anything?
Thanks

There is really nothing else to it, I bought mine through tenso. The only hassle is that you have to submit some documentation as proof of your identity.

"So its much cheaper if i avoid custom tax"

Let say it get stop by custom ? How much you pay and is it worth the hassle ?

That would depend where you live (different countries have different tax rates) and how it's shipped.

In the UK shipped by standard mail I'd be looking at 20% of the declared value plus £8 "handling fee," and supposedly everything is being stopped and charged recently.  Is it worth the hassle?  That depends on your tax rate, how lucky you're feeling and how important the money saved it.

If you don't mind a lightly used one you might be better off checking the classifieds - I have a feeling a black one will be for sale soon...

you're better off expecting you have to pay tax.
i had to pay something like 75 euros tax for my RF from japan. good stuff.
don't forget you probably also have to pay for the shipping cost to the proxy. i sure had to.

Domestic shipping on Amazon is free in Japan.

Anyway i found my HHKB from Matt3o on DT
265 eur inclu shipping 
Modded HHKB with Hasu's BT controller, PBT spacebar, WASD+ Red ESC
It worth it
Proxy HHKB, it could go either way: with custom tax or without it
50/50 with EMS shipping method which has tracking and fast delivery option
