astral Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 It is probably manufactured under a special quota for export only, then has to be re-imported. This used to be the case with computer disks a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toybits Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Also might depend on the type of warantee they provide with the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamhc Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 thanks!i wonder why it's kinda expensive here in thailand despite it being made here. I wonder about the same, as not all Nikon items are made here anyway. I wanted a 18-105MM AF-S DX lens Price in Thailand (Big Camera) was 16,990 Baht and made in China. Price in England (Jessops) was (FX equiv) 11,990 Baht and made in Thailand. Guess which I bought. ALSO the UK one included 20% VAT, but VAT in TH is only 7% On checking Jessops website, I find the D3100 is £100 less than Thailand, and that is before the £40 Cash-Back offer from Nikon. But as we are stuck in Thailand, and unless you are flying to England, we have to accept the local prices. I have another lens I want, so will wait for another friend to come over and save money on that item. (free home delivery to UK addresses, so no hardship for them to collect it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
