Don't worry, Nigel. I'm told we're outsourcing the printing of US Money to China anyway - WalMart got us a good deal...

Kevin.

Did'nt they change their name to WooMart.

I was thinking the same thing...for real! While the dollar is down importing a used Evolution to europe from the states could make the shipping and hastle worthwhile.

$7800 US = 5538 EURO

Yeah, buy American, get a great price and then get gang-raped by Customs & Excise and the Post Office as it lands on the doormat back in Blighty.

This is an unfortunate thing. It seems you all tax everything coming over even the cost of the shipping. This is not something we can address here that is something you need to take up with your legislation and political system.

And, no, we cant ship it as "gift" or "sample" etc .....

However even with the tax the net cost of bringing products over to your side now is still beneficial.

Cheers from the Yanks !

I thought that the approved way was as a 'warranty repair/replacement' with the paperwork sent seperately?

Buy American? If the exchange rate carries on going as it is I'll be able to buy America with my spare change. I'd like the Arizona Meteor Crater in my back garden. The rest of the village might not though.

As to oil in Euros, I think that one country has already switched away from OPEC norm and stopped using dollars.

IF a reputable shipper ships that way and becomes part of a tax evasion shcheme we become party to that crime and it's a federal offense. Frankly I'm not in the mood to go to the can so you can save $50 in tax that is imposed by your country.

I remember way back when Chris at Abyss was shipping packets that way to the UK. One of his competitors notified the customs people over there and from that moment on EVERY package that was sent over got stopped, opened, held up until the recipient paid the tax in cash. I recall Abyss got a nice fine from US Postal service as well.

As I said earlier -- import tax and customs duties and VAT are a function of YOUR country. While right now I have to pay the huge exchange rates to bring things over here you get the benefit when i ship to you. Pay your tax and smile. The Queen needs a new Bentley!

Keep in mind i will be happy to sell back the London Bridge to you folks. We paid $6million for it. I will sell it back for $6 million and you are up $3mill. Wire transfers only please.

Cheers

I wish it was 50US, here in Sweden we have something like 25% VAT, another 7% import duty and the shipping rate is ridiculous high. The percentages stated before will be charged on the sell price and shipping.
I recall buying sensors once from the states, and the end price ended up to being twice the list price.
