Confused on custom charges from Japan to US

I am a first time international buyer. I recently bought a CD from Japan for about $20, free shipping. I have visited the US customs website but was still lost on how much fees would be. 

Others on this forum have said that purchases under $800 will not have any extra fees. I wanted to confirm if this was true. If not, where can I find how much these extra charges would be?

 

The seller is not under the GSP and has not yet shipped. So, I am considering canceling my order if the fees end up costing more than the CD itself. 

 


Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

See the FAQs on this page - https://www.cbp.gov/trade/basic-import-export/e-commerce/faqs

 

"If the purchase price is below the $800 de minimis threshold, it should be admitted free of duty and tax. "
