VKB T-Rudder pedals regional pricing

[blegh]

Hello all, I was recently interested in buying the VKB T-rudder pedals for helicopter use, but found they were quite expensive in my currency (400 AUD), I did some more research and found out they were around 90 dollars cheaper when purchased in USD. I was wondering what the reason for this is as most other flight simulator peripherals had equal pricing in USD and AUD alike.

The product price differences between the US and AUS stores are coming from local Australian tax (there's no such thing in US for a product under $800), the shipping from China to Australia (the shipping is not included on the US website) and the local Australian logistics, like warehouse costs, handling etc (US doesn't have a local warehouse).

ah okay that makes sense now, thank you!
