Is there import tax from shipping an item from Japan to America?

I bought an item that is valued 200. If it is being shipped from Japan to America, will there be any additional taxes added on by customs? Import tax?

Yes there is. Tax/tariff rates depend on the category of the item to be imported. Here is an example.

For more information, it is best to contact your shipping company (FedEx, UPS, etc) and inquire how much it will be.
