> EU dealer would have to pay the same import fees and VAT. It would be less of a hassle, but probably not cheaper. In my country (and I guess many other EU countries - although it varies from country do country), it is a huge hassle and expensive too. And if you make any mistakes in the red tape you get hit with all sorts of ridiculous fees. Also, the package is usually delayed in customs for weeks or months. Whereas packages shipped from within EU typically arrives within next business day of them arriving in the destination country. So avoiding the hassle is well worth it in order to get to the EU market. Also, it may actually be cheaper. In my country, the local post office adds a "handling fee" of 30 EUR just for the service of informing you that you need to pay customs, VAT, etc. on the item. At least this is 30 EUR that can be saved on each item.
