Who do they think they are kidding? the US price has not gone up from $3000 dollars (£1940 in English at today’s Post Office conversion rate. Now with the price hike its comparable to $4031, that’s over a 1/3rd more than the Americans are paying. WHY?
it would still work out cheaper to import and pay eg - 

Total customs value: £1950.23
- Duty: £0.00
- VAT: £390.05
Total import duty & taxes due: £390.05
Total landed cost: £2340.27 at USD/GBP exchange rate of 0.6291

Daylight robbery
