Another watch out

One of the oldest tricks in the book is to use an exchange rate that by definition will be favorable to the seller - usually an official gov't rate that you can't actually get from any bank in the country. When our suppliers tried to do this, we used to just pay in $ - and saved about 2-3% of the transaction value. Of course, I work for a large company, so we always could easily and cost effectively transfer $ in and out of most countries - that probably won't be an option for you.

Definitely make sure you use bank quoted exchange rates - Otherwise that $2200 product will end up costing more like $2300 when you are done.
