Why are packs more expensive in Europe than USA?

Pretty much the titel. The Chewbacca LSB costs 24 $ in the US. In Europe it is 30 Euro. With the current exchange rate it should be 22 Euro, though. At that price at I would by the pack without thinking btw.

Why is that? Is there a toll EA has to pay or what?

Thanks

    Dear mate, in EU countries, we have to pay VAT (Value Added Tax) on digital goods. The amount may vary based on the extent of the good, and here is close to 40%.

    If you ask me, it is an unfair amount for a game. Fortunately, there is something called VPN that can get around the problem. Just in case, if anyone asks you, you didn't hear that from me.
