I've ordered about 65 times from china-hk-taiwan and never ever paid duties. :) seatposts-saddles-chains-handlebars-stems-headsets-qr skewers.. and never needed to open my purse when the postman arrived.
15cm out of the frame is not much at all. I ride frame exactly at my size and it has about 17cm seatpost exposed.

15cm is really not that much. I just never get why some people cut their SP-s for uselessly short lengths.. the most stupid thing to do, IMHO. A longer seatpost won't hurt anyone, whereas a shorter only puts more pressure onto the inner side of the seat tube and limits one's ability to adjust the seat height..
