Ok, so lack of yellow is one of your things. Hmmmm, That really limits your choices in your price range.
Cinnamons can be outstanding, and are reasonably priced. Black Pastel are similar, and priced about the same. If you have no intention of breeding then Axanthic is out of the question, because you are extremely unlikely to find a visual in your price range.
You can find what are known as IMG balls, these have increased melanin, and are quite dark in some cases.
Have you looked into Pinstripes? They can be quite attractive, and one with a busy pattern should be close to what you had in mind. And within your budget. How about Mojaves ? They can be beautiful and are affordable.
You are correct in thinking taxes/customs and such will almost certainly put any ball purchased in the states in the same price range as one you find there.
