Yes, you will pay taxes on the item purchased in the US. Also, you might want to check on laws about shipping computer equipment overseas, there is an issue there as well.

Shipped from UK is no problem (also compatible) - with no taxes. However from USA- major problem with electrical items - may not be compatible with Greece but also anything (used or not)over 22 euro is subjected to be taxed - A LOT! You may find yourself paying more than it's worth (plus shipping is v.expensive from USA)
