Bear in mind that obviously new stuff might be pounced on by customs, and duty charged. It isn't just booze and fags they look for.

 

Yep, can vouch for that. Thought I was being smart buying a 346XP from the States at a heavy discount, and naturally got clobbered for the duty when it hit our shores. That said, depending on how much cheaper stuff is, it may still wind up being cheaper than here. Annoying how a lot of gear is so pricey here

I brought back a 560xp and a 192t. Sold the 560 when i got back and the profit paid for the 192t. It was a few years ago the the exchange rate was better.

 

The best way to do it is buy it online from US and get it shipped out of state (within the US not back to UK, if shipped to UK you will get stung with import duty), then you will even save on state taxes. Certain states its the responsibility for the consumer to pay the tax rather than the seller.
