Buying online from other countries

Dear QLers,

Can you please tell me how much import duty OR tax will be imposed if I buy something online from other country - and whether it will be delivered to my accommodation or do I need to have a post box address?

I'm planning to buy a cell phone from UAE Souq, and its cheap there, so how much tax will be imposed?

There isn't even an import tax on car spare-parts purchased from the USA as long as you don't buy them in quantities.

As long as I know, there is not duty over items purchased within GCC. However please make sure by some authentic sources.
