Amazon publishing...Tax for non-US citizens?

[Durete]

Hello publishers!

I got a quick question, when I tried to sign up for amazon's self-publishing service, I keep getting that I would supposedly have to pay 30% US taxes.

Is this a standard for NON-US publishers?
Is there a way around it? (I'm not a US citizen, nor living in the US)

If so please let me know, can't find anything about this in amazon's F.A.Q.

Thank you.
