NONE.
I have ordered a small Navy full of dive goods from Diveinn.com and was never charged a tarrif tax or fee.
There is a fee for curency conversion.

I assume you are speaking about US import taxes....
There are certain categories of goods that are excempt from US import taxes (at least for individuals buying from abroad). Scuba related goods are exempt.
If you are talking about buying goods from an EU country like diveinn in Spain, you shouldn't be charged any import tax. There may be a "logistics" fee from DHL or whoever they use for shipping, although this does not seem to be charged on every order based on my experience with simplyscuba in the UK and other feedback I've heard from folks ordering from retailers in Europe.
