When I was importing from both Spain and Italy I would never import a inexpensive gun. The costs are just about the same as an expensive gun. Some of the costs are fixed and some are variable. I would tell them just wait until you had five guns ready. I once in a while do 4 but tried for 5. Now if you are importing a 10k gun that its not so bad but a 400 has to absorb all the costs. Just not worth it. Unless its something that you really want.
