I contacted Owon seller on Amazon and they reported that they don't pay customs fees, therefore I will be paying them myself which is exactly what I didn't want in the first place.
I went to see the Rigol DS1054Z but it is unavailable right now, except from a third-party seller which won't deal with customs fees... so this is a no go for now.
The other one available with customs taken care of is Siglent SDS1104X-U which is 400$ alone, 685$ full with customs and shipping.
Right now, I will wait for Rigol to be available but also my choice for the time being maybe just OWON-VDS1022I which is 145$ or so fully taken care of and delivered.
All of this unless someone offered a cheaper alternative as requested.
thanks for all.
