Does anybody tried to import MacPro from U.S.?

What country are they going TO?

If you attempt to import as new, you might be able to get around the import rules, but you will probably have to pay the full VAT in your country.

If you have relatives who could buy in the US and ship to you, they could ship them to you as used, and the tax may be less. I doubt customs would believe they are a gift, especially two.

As always, shipping overseas has two flavors: Very expensive or Very slow.

The Apple store only sells to people with a US billing and shipping address, and a US based method of payment, so you cannot buy directly from Apple in the USA from overseas, nor have it shipped to anywhere outside of the USA.

So, you would have to have someone here buy it for you, and they would then have to privately ship it to you, with all the possible problems Grant already mentioned.

Wouldn't it be simpler to buy from any other EU store? For example, the UK store will ship directly to Austria and I thought that any of the 15 EU Apple stores allows purchasing in any store and shipping to any of the 15 EU Apple store countries?

This issue comes up because the Mac Pro has been discontinued in the E.U., purportedly because it does not have finger-guards on its internal fans.

Seriously? So the 1/8" thick aluminum case itself is not enough protection? And I thought our government was excessively wacky with its over protectiveness 😝
