The tax is merely an incentive to NOT send your money outside of your country's economy. The same thing works in tariff-uses. Your economy suffers more if you eliminate $500USD or 250 British pounds from its circulation. That's why all country's encourage people to buy from within.Great purchase though.....I feel like an idito for not buying one from Bear when I had the opportunity....
