Buying gear in US
I'm going to Utah for 2wks in March and want to take advantage of the
USD/GBP exchange rate by buying new ski & board gear: Rossignol B2/Fritschi Diamir £519 at Snow+Rock, £397 at rei.com K2 Recon/Salomon SP3/Salomon Dialogue £664 at Snow+Rock, £355 at rei.com! So I have a couple of questions: 1) I suspect the US stores are pressurised by the European manufacturers not to sell gear to Europeans. Is this true, and will paying cash at the store help? 2) If I declare the stuff at customs when I bring it back to the UK, what will the import duty cost? 3) If I don't declare it, what are the chances of being caught? And what happens if you are? Al |
