    You can use credit card or Paypal.

    Import payments vary from country to country, and are payable to Customs, not Sparkfun. What you pay Sparkfun is only the product and shipping costs.

    You can try checking the website of the local customs, and see the list of tariffs. Sparkfun ships their products usually under the label of "hobby electronics", which is more akin to toys rather than sophisticated electronic components. Most likely the customs will let it through without any taxes or permits.

    Better check with your local customs office to get an idea of about how much the duty will be for the product you want to buy..

    Also, reach out to the vendor as I am sure they have experience in the matter.

    That should be available locally! Are you talking about the monochrome LCD screen?

    I suppose you've been to this one?

    It should be easy to interface, even though there is no obvious breakout connections. The connector is available for sale too. The price looks pretty attractive.

    I don't think it's worth to get it from Sparkfun if you can get it locally. The standard shipment price from there is around $30, on top of the $35 for the LCD breakout board.

    the main problem is that i have the lcd and the connector

    but the connect is so small that it is impossible for me to solder it.
