A rough estimate transfers dollars into euros on 1:1 ratio, if sales tax, VAT, import duties etc are included. Products in the US are without VAT. So it is more a 20% difference.

In total, my Sony 900 was € 340 (ordered from the US). Okay, that's 32%.
In the very worst case, Sony 900 would add up to € 380. Still 25%.
There are tons of workarounds, for example colleagues from the US buying and sending as a gift.
