I am aware of the export regulations on oscilloscopes out of the USA, but are there similar regulations about importing an oscilloscope into the usa?
I am interested in purchasing a 4ghz oscilloscope from Alltest in israel, but I am concerned that it may get stuck in customs.
Is there anything I should know in advance before proceeding?
Is it worth the hassle to buy an oscilloscope from overseas to import to the USA?
The entire transaction is going through ebay, so I am covered regardless, but I just dont want to find out that it's going to take 3 months and get impounded by customs for me to never see again.
Has anyone tried doing this?
Thanks! ^-^

De Minimis Value is $800 per person. supposedly per day but no clue if they can track this.
anyways, if item value exceeds $800 you will absolutely be charged duty and worse a broker/handling fee by Fedex/UPS etc. I'm not sure if USPS charges brokerage fees.

Doesn't look like there is an import duty: https://hts.usitc.gov/?query=9030.20.10
