All of its one way. The charges for bringing things into a country are up to that country. We (the USA that is) charge really high for some things because we basically want to keep them out. But other things we actually give them breaks on.

Some people complain that there should be more of an effort to mke things "fair". They yell if they charge us then we should charge them. But really, that doesnt make much sense. That might make some people feel like vengence has been served but it would only make it harder for us to control the flow the way we would like.
