Thank you, Dallen.
To get an understanding of the price in order to to avoid buying fake stuff, I looked at Carbide Depot. For a pack of 10 of MITSUBISHI APGT1604PDFR-G2 HTI10, they are selling at USD153.50.
CTC Tools is selling at USD74.75
A store on Amazon at USD155.19
China sellers from Taobao are selling from USD14.58 - USD38.
I was told when purchasing the Hakko soldering station last year that some companies (like Hakko and Mitsubishi Carbide) have manufacturing plant in China for the China market and the region, but I'm not sure given the reputation of some. So I ended up paying almost double the price for a Jap made unit after going through some reviews on YouTube.
