You'll have to pay the duty fee for your package to be released to you. Shippers usually want to cover this for you on your behalf, which will be offered as DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), in contrast to DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid). If the package needs to be inspected, the carrier might charge $80-$200 (as per the image). If you got your package DDP then the shipper will cover this for you and shippers will generally amortize this cost over many customers so you'll see the cost of shipping go up depending on how often these fees are levied.

That cost is also borne by purchaser

This company has the scariest labor system. There are no managers or product people, everyone is expected to contribute as if they are founders, which is why they have the most insane feature spread. You are constantly fearing for your job and they'll do shit like send you to mexico for a "hackathon". They have random rounds of layoffs to trim people who aren't preforming at the top. They really figured out how to work people to the bone.

It can be a consumption disorder, just like food. It really helps regulating the desire to drink. Also, hangovers are also much worse and recreational drinking is unpredictable because of delayed stomach emptying (you can get drunk all of a sudden).

I've been on it for about a year! It's great! It really help me quit alcohol too. I microdose on it now to keep the addictive behaviors at bay.

There is no expectation that it should go up (or down) because it doesn't generate cash flows or have industrial use. The price only reflects sentiment.
