I don't know this, so I'm only guessing. But I'd presume that devices built for export to the US may well be (once the firmware is finalized) flashed-in at the physical manufacturing facility and directly shipped to the US or, at most, transshipped at an 'International Warehouse' where they, 'legally', never enter Europe. That's how some items are handled here in the US.

But here again, I'm only guessing. Still, if that is the case, it may be that none of the VAT and any other duties are applied. And as I have only a vague (mis)understanding of how these things work, I could have it completely wrong - this is not, in any way, shape or form, my area of expertise.
