Import of Behringer equipment to germany

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Hey

I want to sell behringer gear ( I want do it just for small business
for pa rental service and so on, but specialised on behringer gear
(because behringer its cheap and imho good for the price)
I want to know how does it work to import behringer or other cheap
gear from usa to germany… because here a behringer ddx (this digital
mixer) costs about 1275€ at the licensed behringer stores
So I phoned to behringer and they said to me I cant become a behringer
licensed dealer because I make to few business…. (are they mad I want
sell behringer stuff but they don't want sell it to me?? Do behringer
not want to make business..okokits not 1000000€ but I think in a month
1000-2000€ will do…..anyway…this is also very arrogant. But I don't
matter now..

So now a friend told me I could import behringer gear from usa because
of the dollar the import would be cheaper if I buy it from a behringer
licensed store here and resell it.
Does anybody know whats cheaper for buying this stuff from behringer?
Importing form usa or not because of the taxes and dutys…..

And does anybody know where in usa are licensed behringer dealers?
Or does anybody of you do already import stuff like behringer in the
same price class. (it makes no sense if a whateverunit from berhinger
costs 80€ and after import 85€ for me ….
But if a behringer unit is so cheap the duty cant be so high or what
do you think?
