I have containers of goods coming from Europe on a regular basis, from England and more from Italy, so I was wondering if there's something worth looking into importing from there and that I could throw in the containers.

The EU currencies are more reasonable right now, finally.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

If you can get the stuff at dealer, or dist, prices, why not! I'm sure the people selling it here are getting a dist. discount and then they have to pay shipping. They then sell it retail plus shipping.

What are your plans. Are you going to retail the stuff. I would think you would find your supply cut off real soon.

@ Alan Dove: yes, kart and karting related

@ al nunley: just wondering whether I could get good deals there, with most of the shipping paid for already (UK) or totally paid for (Italy).
I am not considering retail, but group purchases could be a possibility, although not a priority.

I want to start karting seriously next year, and I am based in Boston with F1 Outdoors the nearest track.

So, any suggestions?

Here are a couple of ideas ..
Bitter beer from the UK ( Fullers ESB )
Good wine from Italy (Barolo )
