I paid fees on Ironhide and he was less than $90. Their is no certainty based on what is spent aside from purchases under $20 being exempt. Packages under $100 can be charged and those over can get a pass (I didn't pay fees for MP-22).
It's my thought that when lower value packages get dinged anyways that something drew the Customs Agents attention, this could be due to the agent themselves or something about the package that makes them go "hmmmm".
For my recent Ironhide shipment I'm pretty sure a sticker put over top of the product description on the stores label created uncertainty on what was inside which drew attention and the last thing you want is your package to draw attention regardless of its value.
Of course you can never help if some asshat is going to place a sticker in a manner that draws such attention.
