its expensive coz of two reasons, shipping & packing method- most countries doesnt allow glass bottles to post so u have to find a way of packing to keep ur vials without getting them shattered while transit, and with that sort a packing and with the weight of the glass vials the shipping cost will be much higher and its very hard to disguise most of the custom guys knows when they see a iv vial, best shot is to conceal as some fragrance but the rubber stopper and the metal lid mostly gives it away, so the risk is high we did a test run with few vials , it went thru perfect but its not worth the effort mate, too much shit to work on for a very small profit and the risk is much higher, so whoever who is selling vials will be compensating for both factors from the listed price
