Thinking about replacing my old sail for a new one. Since $/euro rate buying a sail in US and shipping it to europe seems cheaper then buying a sails in europe.

APS answered they can't sell in europe due to market zone agreements. Then I wrote a few emails to my friends in the US, asking them to buy the sail for me, and then mail it to Spain.
In that time I found a new pre-owned sail, and canceled the "US operation"
You really need to watch the import charges when getting stuff from the US sent to Europe. Cheap stuff in the normal post is fine and ignored. However anything more than e.g 100 € (or something around that price point) and you get stung for import duty and, when I did it before the carrier also tried to make loads of additional charges (in addition to their standard US to France) charges – that, had I paid them would have added over 50% to the cost !!!
No idea if all carriers do this but my experience with the biggest (?) main carrier would have been expensive (except I argued for quite some time and …).
