There must be some dealer somewhere who has the (exclusive) right to sell to Costa Rica, otherwise it wouldn't make sense to bar the North American dealers. |

Only official distributor for decent gear seems to be a GW Instek one and they target the EDU market so prices are not only inflated, they are absurdly inflated (and will probably require a minimum number of benches to be equipped). Everyone ends up getting FNIRSI, Hantek or Hanmatek (and the other clones) if they need test gear. Universities rely on embassy donated gear and that Instek distributor. |

That's pure American issues. The US is near, perhaps it'll make sense to make a trip to buy the Chinese equipment there |

Further, some models are only available in certain areas and wobetide any reseller that gets caught exporting these models as they will suffer some harsh penalty. |
