With our dollar being reasonably good at the moment I was wondering if anyone had imported machinery directly from Taiwan and if the savings were worth the hassle.

I am specifically looking at a Vertex universal dividing head, about 70kg and I have no idea what freight would be worth. Also I believe if I get it shipped I need to get a customs broker do a declaration for me (I forget the exact name).

So if anyone has done something like this and has rough figures or advice I would appreciate the comments
