Default Laser engine price? Import Tax?

I am looking to purchase either a Laser 200v or 300v. The price from Laser engines in UK for the 200v is 435 GBP, which converts to about $615 USD. Proctor has them for sale for $825. The 300v is 625 GBP or $877 from Laser and $1195 from Proctor. I'm wonderin what the difference is for. Is this a import tax issue? If there is an import tax how much is it? Is it just a convienience charge? I'm not in a big hurry to have the engine so a wait in shipping is no big deal. However a price difference of several hundred dollars is a huge deal. Can anyone clear this up for me? I've tried searching and can't find much about the import tax issue.

Thanks,
Martin
