The confusion is almost worse than the actual fees because it's like "import fee roulette" where the carrier contacts you with a surprise number once the item shows up. If you do get your Walmart item, let me know if they hit you with an additional fee. I have no issue buying through that website rather than eBay if it saves money.
Quick update - my chainrings arrived from London, UK with no additional fees or drama. I'll update this thread again if I get a bill in the mail later.
