Sad. What kind of duties and such are we talking about it? Is it a European Union thing?
It’s a European Union thing. In Portugal it’s 23% on EVERYTHING plus postage fees (I’ve payed around 40€ before, depends on declared amount) plus whatever shipping costs. Europe is basically protecting internal business. Some brands are available in certain EU amazons or few local distributors but we certainly do not have broad availability of brands like in the US or many parts of Asia. It’s a smaller market (in Portugal) and with Brexit some confusion and restrictions arose. It’s a long story and “slightly” off topic but I AM searching for a pair of IEMs and the Variations are leading the pack of options so far so I’m still looking for inputs being a Rai Solo owner and looking for an upgrade.
