Generally speaking, US suppressors are made to last longer, deliver more performance in sound reduction, and offer features that make them more appealing, since they are more difficult to get.
When I bought my Ase Utra Jet QCB face-to-face in Finland, it was at least 400 euros, which would have been about $560 at the time.
The little novelty rimfire cans sold at sporting goods stores were just that: cheap novelties. I've never seen any of my Finnish friends using them, and I have done a lot of shooting there.
Everybody I know is using Ase Utra, BR Tuote, or Brugger & Thomet cans. Prices are comparable to the US on many of the ones I have seen in use there.
There were no regulations when I bought mine, but they since have made it a requirement that you have some type of firearms permit to buy one.
You can make garbage cans that won't last, sure. They will run you a few hundred dollars if you source already-made parts, where you cut your own baffle perforations.
They will be heavy, will have POI shift as they heat up on a gas gun, and you will need to replace your baffles often, then re-zero every time you service them.
People pay for performance, and there are a few great companies in the US that make suppressors that address a lot of the issues cans have faced for over a century.
Those cost more for many good reasons.
