I would hope so. There's an unwarranted stigma about products being made in China but usually it's the company paying for the manufacturing (Nintendo, Mattel, Microsoft, etc.) that sets the quality standard and controls quality. It's like Toyota cars being made in America, it's not the country that makes them, it's the standard set by the company that determines product's quality.

Yeah. It's more important to watch the principal brand that's responsible for design, manufacturing control, QC and packaging than the countries where the products are made in. I wouldn't be surprised if the components are sourced from half a dozen different countries to be assembled in China.

If someone preorders it from Amazon, how much he would have to pay for the taxes?

EDIT: I'm aksing it for someone who lives in US.
Thanks

@kopte: assuming amazon accepts your non-US credit card, ships to your country, and you're okay with their shipping fees... then the custom taxes are determined at your border. I'm guessing you can make calls (or visit) your local post office to inquire about this.

Please note that Amazon will include the invoice with product values and they will always state the full value in the custom forms.

I can assure you they don't even ship to Montreal... go figure why they don't merge their Canadian / American store, it's a f* pain to Canadians!

@R-R: is this a cellphone-only policy?
I've ordered other electronics from Amazon and they do ship outside of USA..

For the vast majority of people, none. See their help page on sales tax for details.

It varys from state to state. In most states there is no sales tax applied, See post #47 of this thread.
