I can tell you from experience that if the product is something people in the US want...they will definitely pay the shipping
A specific case...I watched a store in the UK on shopify/etsy put out a call for pre-orders of items...they received 50,000 orders for an item that was sold at $59 and shipping to the US was $20..then had the item produced and fulfilled all of the orders...they placed a 50,000 item limit on it...and are now getting ready to do it again because their waiting list has grown close to another 50,000 in the US
