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.

 

Actually the seller collects the sales tax from the customer and than sends it to the state revenue department. This would be the same policy for nearly every state that has a state sales tax. I have been told that when purchasing in the US to ship abroad like the UK if under the customs declaration the item is stated as a gift there would be no customs and duties due?. I have tried this to Canada and the results have been 50/50.
