Seems that it will be ~25% of cost. Also, the last time I had to pay duty there was a ~30 euro handling charge.

According to that website,its just 23% VAT (calculated on total landed cost) plus an administration fee.If the delivery comes through An Post,its €6.00 extra.
Also,you can normally get the same tablet off EBay for a few quid more from someone who has already imported them.At least you would definitely get it for Christmas.
