Cole it is the shipping and import taxes.
The import and export is anywhere from 5 to 15% depending on what it is.
A 680 dollar camera will cost another 197 dollars alone.
I just sent him a make believe package that had value of 100 US dollars and it cost 262 dollars to send.
The package weighed one Kilogram and was 41X33X3 cm.
Shipper was UPS
