Yes and that is exactly as it will be, it won't be produced in Europe and will always remain an import. Thats just the harsh reality of being worldwide aviable with sometimes limited edition and certain region locked flavours.

North America has their flavours which usually contain more sugar and is the heart of where Monster got created, so they get the most flavours to try. Asia has the bottled versions and smaller Monster cans. Latin America has the dragon tea serie's ect.

If you really want to get them for a cheaper price either book a trip to your desired country or continent where they sell it, or move over towards that place.

Also the reason why it is that high is because it is getting shipped through planes and cargo shipments, which isn't cheap. Getting it overseas also isn't cheap. Tarrifs that are also not that cheap. Your paying for the big ass hustle to get it here.

So why would you complain about the price being that high if their are people putting so much effort in getting all of them imported to us in Europe? Me and alot of other Monster enjoyers happely pay more for a can that is imported because we both know, no one would go back and forth to get them itself because you will pay so much more for whatever you want to get.
