The VAT is applied at the time of sale to the end consumer, it's irrelevant if the product is imported or manufactured locally.

So strange to take VAT into account when it's not discriminating between local or import. By that logic the US has a 5-10% tariff on everything too since we have sales tax in like 47 states.
