I vote that it'll cost you 550 pounds, after it's imported and they add VAT and import charges.

VAT - value added tax.
You know, the 17.5% we pay extra on any goods in the UK, which is one reason our prices are higher than elsewhere.....?

you guys pay something like 21% taX that is part of that price

we don't pay that high of tax and when we do, it isn't part of the listed price, it gets added on when you pay
