it's kinda retarded how google doesn't enable me to buy directly from play store in slovakia, so i was thinking about proxy buying through someone in the US.
i wonder whether it's possible at all and how much would it cost me in customs fees lawl.

buy it from ebay.
there are many sellers that purchased nexus 5's so they could sell them to international buyers who aren't able to.

You can find out how much the customs fee would be by asking your postal service.

Customs fee is 20% of the price, and if the price of the product is more than 150€ you have to pay an additional fee. You don't have to pay customs fee if the price of the product is under 40€ or if the package is listed as a gift. You might prevent the customs fee if your package is listed as a gift or if it has low value listed on it.

You can take it from other playstore device from the eu (uk, france, germany etc) since they are in the eu you don't have to pay customs :D
Also shipment should be cheaper from there than us
