is there some reason you are going through a local importer?  You can buy 
the radio directly on ebay for probably quite a bit less with either free 
shipping, or cheap shipping from china.  the local guy is going to charge 
you to have it brought in.
and no, just because the local guy brings it in doesn't mean there is some 
warranty associated with it unless the importer has some odd ball warranty 
of his own.
