Replacement Filters for Samsung French Door Refrigerator - Exploitation - Samsung SRF801GDLS French Door Refrigerato

Samsung recommends that filters for this fridge should be replaced every 6 months. The price Samsung charges, excluding GST and delivery is $113. The same part is available via Samsungparts.com from the USA for $43 (Australia S42). Shipping from the USA costs $40 (for one or two, and possibly more units).
Why is the Australian price almost 3 times the price in the USA? Samsung say it is because of the different characteristics of different markets. I could accept some difference but at almost three times the price, I feel as though Samsung is ripping me off.
Lesson learned - I just wan't buy Samsung products in the future
