This “base” is what customs uses to work out import tax — not the price you see in shops.
Think of the base import price as a sticker the customs office puts on every box of gold or silver when it arrives. The sticker is a number customs uses to calculate tax. It’s not the sticker on the shop shelf or the price on the TV — it’s a special customs sticker.
