Answer
The cost of chromium is somewhat subjective: http://www.bgr.bund.de defines the cost per metric tonne in a Rotterdam warehouse. The price is (in commodity terms) is currently around $7,000 per metric tonne.
The price of chromium tends to rise and fall along with fellow non-ferrous metals such as copper, nickel and tin. It is also inversely affected by the value of the dollar. Historically it is one of the more volatile metals. A graph can be found on this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehrlich... article.
Not many places regard chromium as a genuine commodity so you will have to pay local taxes such as VAT as well as any tariffs applicable.
