Is that including customs duties, import VAT and the like? Here in Europe, this often gobbles up much of the price advantage from buying overseas. As an example, something that costs, say, 300 USD plus 40 USD P&P will have 27,20 of customs duties (8 percent) plus 69,76 of VAT (19 percent) added on import for a total of 436,96 USD.
