Ok, deleted my post. Didn't realize this was not customary here as all independent and vendor-operated forums I use have a section for this.

I did the same excercise of getting the numbers for getting it shipped from the US to Germany today, arrived at € 457, if memory serves, but without the rate guarantee, as I have a credit card that charges only minimal fees for foreign currency transactions (less than 0.1%). Import tax and duty...
