Some tips for international transport of kit to USA: - The main reason you're doing this at all is because the local sales rep for your vendor doesn't get a commission if they sell directly into someone else's territory, maybe figure out who the "someone else" is - Customs helps American vendors keep counterfeit goods out of the country, which means importing American vendors to USA automatically looks suss - Global Insurance policies for Australian companies sometimes have a carve-out in the fine print that doesn't cover you for the USA (no really, go and read your policy!) - Shipping routers costs more than return plane tickets for a person, but if you try and import routers as luggage you will learn the hard way that you should have paid for shipping - Fedex have their own bonded warehouse facilities which makes it harder for them to lose things in transit if they get complicated with customs - If you are taking kit for demo purposes and plan to bring it back with you, it may simplify travel to google what a Carnet is
