In practice, no. USPS rarely charges fees of this nature.
Other agencies may vary.
USA does not have import fees or taxes on any video games.
there are never any import taxes on video games in america, you could literally import 20,000 of them and wont pay a cent in taxes.I just want to be sure, since I do not want to be surprised with a big amount. If I do get charged, who will collect the import tax, the postman or do I have to mail in the money?

In some places you do get the "because we caught you" bonus money, likewise with the "we took care of it for you" thing you occasionally see if not fines then extra fees.Why would you have to pay a fine? In case your English isn't very good, a fine isn't like a tax or a duty; it's something you have to pay as a penalty for breaking a law.
