Importing a DS - problems?

[drunken fool]

The girlfriend wants a Navy DS Lite so am looking to get one for her birthday. The only place they seem to be available is Japan/asia and having never imported anything like this from Asia is there anything (apart from import tax) i should be aware of? Has anyone done this before?

The import duty is pretty pricey - I just bought my girlfriend a Navy DS and the shipping (UPS) and duty came in at about £50!

Are the buttons on it Navy as well or are they Grey like the black DS?

i got one in the end but off an auction site. Shipped from the uk and checked for Dead Pixels first and looks very nice
