If I try purchasing from Welectron, the price of the meter is shown as 175.63 Euros (no VAT ?
) and after shipping/discount, the price is around 192.02 Euros (231 USD - all currency conversions from google).
Including customs duty (as per calculation from a govt. website) : 295 USD (~27.7% duty)But I somehow feel that the customs duty is gonna be higher. I remember doing similar calculations when I imported my 3D printer from Europe. I finally had to pay around 40% customs duty!! Well, the HSN codes are going to be different, but... who knows !!
With 40% duty : 323 USDLowest offer from local dealer : 308 USDI can also source it locally for a lower price than this if I choose to not get a bill. I am not comfortable with this anyhow.
As long as the meter is not manufactured in India, I would assume that the price structure would look something similar.
Well, thats how much I have to spend.
This is also true for the Rigol/Siglent DSOs.
