High local European prices compared to "import" often means the local VAT is not charged on exports- and reimport as personal item or sent by friend doesn"t get charged VAT at reimport unless marked as to be resold locally. What is your local domestic VAT? Canadian posters note they have 17% on lot of stuff but if the product is shipped to US a short trip across border could save them a little. BMW rally had Canadians coming in riding bare shafties, stop at local dealer for Vetter, etc bits and pieces so they rode back with full dress rigs. The import and VAT at the time meant they saved 50% compared to Canadian purchase. Cross border at different crossing than what they entered so customs didn"t note difference in equipment. Some BMWs picked up in Germany were equiped for US market, but local purchase with a note for export meant no VAT. Ride 1000 miles and ship to US as "used" personal vehicle, not for resale and import avoid tax that way. Military had other help on imports besides. Japanese bikers wanting big cycles not normally sold in Japan would use a Okinawa dealer for purchase of "export" model available there- export market to US military legal, and then register local Okinawa-- which meant when brought back to main islands the local registration accepted so can run a 1000cc instead of normally legal allowed 750cc, a "grandfathered" legal registration. Tax laws can have interesting results. RN
