Hello Jorge, We are distributors of Micsig for Peru and we are making a new order (directly from factory) in the coming weeks. If you wish we can include an additional unit to the order and find out the shipment of Lima-Peru to La Paz- Bolivia.
And pay double import duties???
Why would that be the case? I doubt countries next to eachother charge high import duties because that would hamper regional trade unless the governments are totally ass-backwards.
It is not EU, it is Latin America... Jorge, correct me if I am wrong.
But in the end, what really matters is the final price that you will end up paying...
the import duties are the same from neighbor countries or countries in the other side of the world like Australia or china with some exceptions about things that where actually manufactured in the same neighbor countries
on side note also the guy I sold my dso1052e to was about to get an oscilloscope from Peru and was about to pay a very expensive price
and also I prefer most of the time buying directly from china I tried buying from Peru or Argentina before and in the end it happens to be way more expensive mostly because as TK said double import duties and also double shipping cost.
unless the governments are totally ass-backwards.
I am afraid that is the crude reality
yep it actually is
the Rigol DS1052E that I used to have I got it from dealextreme witch was the only one that at the time that would actually ship to my country that's why here is very rare to see some hobbyist or even professionals that actually own an oscilloscope that's why I got a really god price selling my rigol and I already miss it
I was about to buy the TO1104M without battery but I will make a bit of sacrifice and get the 1104 with battery but at the end the taxes are not that much the problem most of the time is the shipping cost and the extra 40$ that DHL and FEDEX charge on top of the actual shipping cost and taxes and many times sellers offer only one of those options and with an average wage for a junior engineer as me of less than 300$ monthly that 40$ is actually a lot.
I really appreciate your help and comments
