If you read my posts you would have seen the comment I put about importers/distributors having to pay for public liability insurance.
That cost has to be passed onto the customer somewhere, one of the reasons that buying from outside the EU is cheaper is that you are avoiding that cost, plus the import duties and VAT that the importers/distributors also have to pay.
As a follow up to my post above regarding the exemption from public liability, what Jim says appears to be very true that the importer (even as in individual) is not exempt, but if they subsequently sold the item on as used then they would be.
