I recently bought some Raximo levers for my 1290 SDR, and they come from Germany... bit of the back story; I'd seen their levers on a 790 Duke on a trackday and liked the look so included them in my search for a set of levers when the time came. Unlike ordering cheap (and dangerous) Chinese crap from eBay or Amazon, the ordering process is fairly long-winded; identify the spec you want (folding, extendable etc) and select, then from the webpage you download a configuration form on which you select the colour combinations that you want, and email it back to them (having registered as a customer). When your levers are ready they email you to advise and give you the price in € -in my case €136.00. What they didn't advise was the easiest way to pay, which is to go to the website and your "basket" and at checkout specify using a credit card. I didn't realise this and used the IBAN number on their email and set up a currency transfer via Santander. That wasn't difficult in itself, but Santander burned me £25 for the pleasure.
I can't blame the vendors for that, I just rushed in without exploring an easier way.
Had I paid via credit card, the levers would have cost me all of £117.70, delivered. No fuss, no bill from HMRC, plus they come with a TüV Type Approval certificate, which your cheap Chinese junk won't have...
