See my final post on this subject.
Hisashi is the vendor I purchased the SG from. He sells Tokai guitars on ebay. In the auction there was no mention of any fees to receive an instrument from Japan. Only $120.00 US for shipping. As posted, I had to pay $84.40 US for custom/import tax. I contacted Hisashi and after many email exchanges of denial, I decided to eat the customs and not let the situation ruin my new purchase. I did leave Hisashi positive feed back, but also left the comment of "customs/import tax not clearly stated in auction...seller not willing to negotiate settlement".
Still, my new SG is dream come true.
