Right. So they warn you it's going to cost a fortune before you buy it. 
It's kinda sad that it costs so much, but not really Amazon's fault.

My problem is that I wasn't told there would be a steep import duty to 
pay. If I had known that, I wouldn't have purchased the product. But 
they didn't warn me. (Hell, I didn't even know that it was coming from a 
different country. Or that it wasn't Amazon themselves selling it...)
