Hi Brad, I feel your pain, having recently been dinged $75 on about $300 CAD worth of apparel. If you live close to the border, renting a PO box or just using a package reception service (I use Package Express and it's great) is a great option - you usually only pay $2 / wk per box they hold for you.
It is unlikely the PI folks would have the answers to the duty question as that's determined by the customs agent that clears it, although it also depends what shipping method is used (couriers are better than USPS for some reason - except UPS).
