If you buy something from the U.S. and have it shipped here there are no taxes applied as it leaves the U.S. Similarly, if you are in America and purchase something from outside the state you are in, sales tax is not applied.
The only reason I can see for high prices here is to support the luxury lifestyles of the astro-shop staff. You know, those 6 figure salaries, car parks full of BMWs, cushy jobs dealing with the public.
