Yes, perhaps that has to be the way to go though it would move many purchases beyond economic reach. I glanced just now at a listing of a valved Transoceanic to see the current GSP charge to the UK, it was £37: I've known US booksellers demand more than that for shipping a 1kg book, such is the purchasing power of sending items by the containerload rather than as individual shipments. No use at all of course if the item gets rejected.
