  I am interested as well. 
  
  I have made a few purchases from China with no issues and no tariffs.  All of them under $100.

  Just the E-bay stuff. Buy 2 as one might not work.....You would be pretty crazy to make a large purchase when there are so many other options.

  AFAIK, the "de minimus" amount (free of taxes and duties) for the US is $800.

  My understanding is anything above that could/would be subject to duties and taxes, the amount of which would depend on the customs classification and country of origin.  Figuring that out probably isn't a wise DIY project.
