    Nope.

    That concession has been in place since 2003-ish.

    He may be confusing it with GST.

    You would need to be very knowledgable - or not too worried about money.

    The various Arai models come in different head shapes.
    I believe that some of the US models have different names to other markets, and that some models have changed their names.

    It's potentially a real minefield. Caveat emptor indeed.

    My Arai RX7 that I imported from America (fuck yeah!) fits exactly the same as the one I tried on here.

    Did you try one on in a bike shop? If so, wasn't it nice of that bike shop to stock a helmet in a variety of sizes to allow you to find one that fits well?

    lucky im not a german/asian halfcast living in America, otherwise I'd be shit out of luck finding a helmet that fits.
