Online Selling Shockers

Here is a nice Amazon US shocker. I like this Cranky set (although it's a Trackmaster item) because trains can go through Cranky, and the Troublesome Truck's 3D face looks nice...

But look at the cost of "Shipping and Import Fees Deposit" to my country.
Total: 154,45 for a 19,99 item?!

OK, I know I can get it for a reasonable price from Amazon UK or elsewhere, but what were they thinking Amazon US? Can "shipping & import fees" be so high whatever the destination is? It really looks I'm living on Mars!
