Have bought some amps from the UAE and had no problems with duty only because they were mfd. in Canada (NAFTA). Only had to pay $20 to the freight forwarder, otherwise it would not have been a good deal. Also, check with the mfg. as far as voltage change. Best, Charlie
Buying from outside the United States?
Hi. I couldn't find a similar post, so I started one. I've recently seen ads by foreign hi-fi dealers that offer great prices on foreign gear. Has anyone ever ordered an item from overseas? Do you have to deal w/customs or duties associated with the transaction. What pitfalls must you be wary of? I don't want to start the debate over loyalty to local shops, so lets assume the item in question can not be found locally. Thanks.
