Torsten,

That is one of the reasons the shipping costs are so high.  The charges for
Customs and import taxes are including in shipping.  As for the Taxes on the
actual merchandise, legaly even if you recieve a package from another state
you are required to pay state and local taxes on the products.  Course few if
any people actualy send the money to thier governments and its next to
impossible to enforce.
