There isn't a tax for international groups to come to the US. It's just really pricey for them to come if they aren't extremely popular. It's a piece of cake for a group like One Direction to have over 30 shows in the US for the same tour, but a group like Girls Generation only have 1 show per year. The one UF member that is literally sent everywhere is Kikkawa Yuu, which isn't a lot of people per trip. As for tax, only packages and new items are taxed when you travel/ship it to the US. At least the goods sold out for the New York concert.

Morning Musume wants a world tour, but the easiest way to do it is to go to cities/countries where they have a decent fanbase. Sadly for Canadians, their fanbase is shared with the US. :(
