i've bought batteries and filters frmo HK on e bay with no problems - would be more concerned about a valuable item but you'll probably be ok.

I bought my camera from DigitalRev and they also refunded any customs charges. They seem to only do this deal on more expensive items.

Has some very good prices on the top line filters such as B&W and accessories such as step-up and step-down rings. They are considerably less expensive than Adorama or B&H even including air shipment from Hong Kong. The company seems to average 10 days to two weeks between ordering and the filters and accessories arriving at your address.

But I'd have to think twice before ordering something really expensive from there. My purchase was through ebay, which has some builtin protections.
