That cost is also borne by purchaser
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.

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.
