That's a crazy price swing! And at that price I would shop around, brand-wise.
I hear you about customs. I have speaker cables stuck there and, cos the the seller didn't specify "2nd hand", had to pay £57.17 on a £190 (incl courier) item.
It's the devil or the deep blue sea in South Africa as a lot of gear just isn't available here so, if you want it you have to import from somewhere- or often pay for huge markups. One can understand some of those markups, though the Oppo brand nearly died here as a result of dubious retailing.
