Hi, just wondering whether any US dealers are willing to sell and ship a brand new DX to customers overseas? Or they are prohibited from doing so? Tx in advance guys.

You can go to the US and purchase and then ship it yourself.
I am station in Spain and the deal here in the European union is that if you get a Harley from the USA and ship it here there is no warranty coverage. Second, it will cost a few thousand euros to get all the paperwork needed to register the bike here in Europe. Is funny, because USA bikes and Cars have more restrictions in the USA than in Europe and yet they give a very hard time to anyone that wants to bring a USA bike here to Europe. It can be done if you have the enough money and patience to deal with the burocratic process here.
imp / exp rules and agreements keep HD from sending any more bikes to foreign markets than what the agreement already states. - a private buyer can come here and purchase - ship and title on their own.
the last HD example I know of was with the screamin eagle road glide on about 2000... export to australia was limited to 25 units... but about 30 more than that wound up there.

Import taxes
same problem in Belgium. H-D benelux will not warranty the bike;
to Homolagate the USA bike to Euro spec you need to change the lights,
Instrument cluster to kilometers, and maybe even swap out the front pulley the EU larger 30 tooth. Although I'm not sure about the pulley.
Then you have to add 10% outside EU import tax, and then 21% purchase tax (BTW)
You would probably be close to the EU dealer price, but still would not have any Warranty.
Also at the moment at my local dealer, if you want a DX with ABS you can have it within 2 weeks. If you want it without ABS its a Factory order, so not this summer.
It hurts when you see that all they do on the price list is swap out the dollar sign for the Euro sign. the euro is strong right now and will buy you 1,5 dollars to the euro.
but the system, and the "Man" is against you getting anything cheap.
Put on top of that, that some American dealers will discount the bike, but there's no chance of that over here, yet still they are flying out the doors over here.
Mine is not the only NRS Denium in the carpark now !!!
I stuck a Forum card under his seat strap, so let's hope he logs on !

So out of the couple of posts I’ve read they’re ZERO overseas customers looking for a 1971 SHOVEL-HEAD SPLIT TANK SUPER-GLIDE?
