About amazon's [Import] label not trustworthy, here is the smoke-proof to check whether the IMPORT is bogus or not on .fr Switch the tld to .de: [http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00004UH7R http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00004UH7R] Check what they have as a label, in this case: Label: France (Megaphon Importservice) => it comes from france, and the [Import] is on .fr is bogus.
