3) A Cross Border Assessment fee
4) An International Transaction fee

The latter 3 fees add up to about 3.8%.
i think the problem is not if a person live outside the USA, you can live in the USA and pay the same the cross border fees, depends where is located the transaction bank respect the issuing bank
