[QUOTE="ed724, post: 90782, member: 9265"] I don't think Apple USA sets the prices for foreign sold equipment. Rather the distributor does. Even if the distributor is an Apple subsidiary, they are going to include import duties as well as applicable taxes imposed by local governments. This is usually why the prices are so different. Try buying a new Mini when your in California or somewhere in the states, then when you go back to your home country your going to get popped for import duties on it if customs finds it in your luggage. ed724 Here some info for Norway TAX: There is a 24 percent value added tax on most products applied on CIF + duty. And thats just the middle man. What about the retailer. Don't blame Apple, talk to your Government reps. Thanks Kokopelli, I read your link after I blurted out here. Good find. [/QUOTE]
