Equivalent taxes could be applied to goods upon import as customs duties. Canada does that.

Yep, and when they do that it's "protectionism." Restraint of free trade. Another reason why a VAP slows down an economy.

I believe the VAT (and custom duties) are built in to the final cost of the product regardless of where it is marketed.
