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. --- End quote --- Companies very well may decide to simply not import their products at all into certain countries through any channel for various reasons, such as regulatory hurdles, liability or consumer protection laws. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Siglent simply decided not to allow any sales at all to Costa Rica. Also, the distribution contract between Siglent and TEquipment will likely not bar specific nations or areas but rather will specify the territory that they are allowed to sell to, most likely either the USA exclusively or North America. |

Got some more info about other brands, don't know if this applies to all sellers but essentially Export OK: - Weller - Quick - B&K Precision - GW Instek - UNI-T Either export controlled or NA vendor cannot sell for final destination outside US/NA depending on contract (freight forwarder option not viable either) - Siglent - Rigol - Keysight - Teledyne LeCroy - Tektronix Depending on brand a local distributor is available, for my case the brands that technically have a distributor assigned: - Keysight has a distributor in El Salvador without online store - Tektronix and Fluke have a local distributor (Elvatron) - Teledyne LeCroy lists digikey, mouser and RS as distributors for Costa Rica |

Did you look for your local reseller in the Siglent Map link I posted ? Later today I can check with HQ if you have a Costa Rica seller. |

Further, some models are only available in certain areas and wobetide and reseller that gets caught exporting these models as they will suffer some harsh penalty. --- End quote --- No vendor can ignore the US market, it's too lucrative. If the thing is available in US and not available in Costa Rica, what can prevent a local individual from visiting the US with the purpose to buy it from any dealer there for personal use and to bring it with him on the return flight. After all, the distance is not too long, the product is not an expensive technology masterpiece that can trigger the export regulation and custom fee issues. Where's the rubbish? |

The US is near, perhaps it'll make sense to make a trip to buy the Chinese equipment there --- End quote --- --- Quote from: Njk on April 11, 2024, 11:03:04 pm --- --- Quote from: tautech on April 11, 2024, 09:48:29 pm ---Rubbish.

Unless you are in this game you would not know we are bound by our territorial agreements, pure and simple and nothing at all to do with the US marketplace. However nothing does prohibit the individual to source product from wherever they like but when they do have local representation those representatives might be less than impressed when you go to them for aftersales support. |
