Why is shipping to Australia so expensive?

Hi guys so basically, I’ve been waiting for amiami to put the Naruto and Sasuke nendroids up on their website for a while since they haven’t yet and I was curious on why. I contacted them just today about it. They recommended I should just pre order them off of goodsmile (The Japan one is the one I look at since the other is just for the US I assume) since they aren’t sure if they’re going to get them in stock I assume that they aren’t allowed to tell me which is understandable.

I went to look at them and I was going to pre order but when I saw the entire cost it’s 173 dollars for only two nendroids..? The shipping cost is 46 AUD and there’s also 15 dollars for an overseas tax VAT? I’ve never pre ordered off of GSC since amiami usually has everything that I wanna pre order.

Is it normal for it to be this much? Kinda reconsidering doing the pre order since it’s a lot to be paying just for 2 nendroids.

Please let me know thank you!
