Does anyone know the actual reason why mx goggles can't be exported outside of the USA? I've seen some really great deals on goggles on sites in the US but since I live outside of the USA I can't get them because it says they can't be exported. I'm fine with that and all but I just wanna know why they can't be exported? It doesn't really make much sense to me.

usually its because the goggle manufacturer has dealers in the country you are trying to ship too, it's a way of protecting the dealer to help them get the sales. there are always ways around it though. 3rd party shippers etc..

Distributor deals to keep the money funneling through them, and not individuals.

Thankfully, the founding fathers had more fortitude, otherwise we'd have folded long ago.

Surely bto or rocky mountain or another retailer can sell you goggles and ship them. You mean mfg direct right? No way Donald has decided that mx goggle exports are the tipping point for the economy, right?

Nope, those outlets have restrictions on which products they can ship overseas. A few years ago the aussie dollar was higher than the US dollar, we could order stuff from overseas and even with shipping would save a fortune. The aussie dealers were hating it

Price fixing by region. They know they can sell products into certain regions at higher margins.

It depends on the manufacturer. When I lived in Central America I couldn't get Shoei and Scott products because there were dealers in my country that sold these brand products. So they want to protect these dealers and don't want you to bypass them by shopping in the US.
Get a freight forwarder and ship it to his address (usually based in Miami or Doral) and he can forward it. That is if you plan to order a lot. It doesn't make much sense to do that for a single pair of googles

Use a freight forwarder, eg https://planetexpress.com

Buy stuff from various places and have it all sent to a freight forwarder.

When you're done shopping then have it all consolidated into one box, and then have that one box sent to you.

That works out a heap cheaper than posting various things separately.

Did you listen to the Democratic presidential debate? Who's going to pay for all of that shit, the rich? Haha, they'll just pull up anchor and go elsewhere. The working middle class(slaves) will pay for it.

Have you looked at the deficit recently?

Tax payer bail outs of any industry isn't capitalism either

Democacry isn't unique to the US lol.

Indeed, some places dont have lines of politicians that make laws based upon what big corporations are paying them for.

You really aren't as free as you think... just try not sending in a 1040 if you dont believe me

The USA is very unique. That's why people from around the world risk life and limb to get here.
I'm sure the slaves in china making all of that worthless crap would gladly trade places with you.

2. Those that are harder working than YOU

3.Those that are less likely to commit crimes than YOU

the goggle manufacturer may have an exclusive distribution deal for your country. We sell some brands to dealers that can't be sold outside of the US because of that.

Yeah, they're gonna leave the largest consumer economy in the world and go setup shop somewhere else. Silly I bet they'd feel right at home in Europe, where every 'state' speaks a different language. Blink Everyone drives a sub-compact or a moped and football is a different sport.
