TCGplayer's market price, built from recent sales, is US$11.16, and the cheapest listing we track in the United States is US$13.64, 22% above it. Only one store has it in the United States, so the price is whatever that shop asks and there is no second quote to check it against.
Across 2 markets, Canada has it cheapest, about 12% below the United States before postage and import tax. In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read C$16.70 in Canada and US$13.64 in the United States. Conversions use indicative exchange rates, and postage, duty and import tax are not included, so a cheaper market elsewhere is a fact about listings and not a reason to import.
The market price moved +0% over the last 7 days; there is not yet a 30-day window to set that against. It is trading at its 90-day high of US$11.16.
