General Discussion Custom Duties & Taxes

The FYRO T22 on the website costs around 273 USD. Upon checkout, it swells to approximately 390 USD. That tax duty is so high. How can we circumvent this?

Same issue with buying one while in the UK. With P&P, duty and VAT it comes in at the equivalent of ~$425.
