AWS Cross account shared AMI tags not showing up

Question

I have a setup using two accounts in AWS, A and B. CI builds and tags AMIs in A and than shares them with B.

I just notice that none of the tags created in A show up in B.

Is this expected behaviour?

There is nothing on the documentation: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/sharingamis-explicit.html

Tags are always private.

You can tag public or shared resources, but the tags you assign are available only to your AWS account and not to the other accounts sharing the resource.
