Hi Yannis.

The quick answer is that it depends where you live.. Each country has
different import taxes, duties and exemptions. You would have to find out
what customs charge in Greece.

I live in Australia and I bought my A6 from the states. Australian customs
have a very good web site with all the documentation on import rules, there
is a crap load! It took me a while to find what I was after but I found out
that in Australia, musical instruments including keyboards are exempt from
tax but subject to %10 import duty and a $30 customs handling fee . Even
then, with about US$130 worth of shipping, US$280 or so to the customs, it
was still about a grand cheaper then getting one from a local store...

The only thing you really have to consider is the warranty. If I had read as
much about people having to return their A6 under warranty before I bought
it as I have now, I would have thought a lot longer about getting it from
the US... My unit did take a little kock in shipping, bottom front left
corner is dinted but so far, thankfully, I have had no problems, but I have
read that a lot of people have had to take theit first unit back for repair
or exchange, which would not be possible for me...
Good luck.
