Yes, I think it may be on the way in any case. The other consideration is non USA people who face import tax as well, so for us in the UK for instance, we have to add 20% to the cost with the postage as well and the added weight.
It has always puzzled me (although there must be a reason) why goods sold from non EU countries have basically two sets of taxes on them. We have to pay US tax as well as UK plus postage. It's a pity that exports can't be sold duty free, but then the receiver's own country taxes are added.
So the added cost will also add a bit more tax and perhaps postage due to the weight.
