| I’ve placed my first international order, but don’t know how the customs fee/import
taxes will be handled once the package arrives to the USA. I’ve already paid
the invoice to the seller and there wasn’t any line item indicating a charge
for it. Does anyone know how this process works for the USA?

There are no customs fees or import taxes apart from sales taxes. If you were
importing a huge pallet of Lego then you might have to pay dock fees.

In Canada, if the value of item is above $20, once the package arrives in Canada,
the custom officers add custom fees and the package wont be delivered unless
if th recipient pays those fees.
In USA, there can be duties, on top of sales tax but the treshold is high, like
$800 or $1200 (I don't know exactly how much).
