When receiving goods from the US I've had the option to pay the import duty before it leaves the US so it doesn't get held up by parcel force and avoid paying their extra 'handling' fee which scales depending on the value of the item.
I would suggest asking him if that's an option at his end? I think it's a standard USPS thing and keeps the costs as low as possible.
