Yep, all Rimowa products sold in North America and the Americas are made at their plant in Canada. I bought my first Salsa at Neiman-Marcus last month and it's magnificent. I compared mine to one owned by a French buddy last week in Paris and his German-made version is identical to mine!

But I am heading back to Paris in the early spring and this time, I will buy a Topas and/or a Limbo Cabin IATA Multiwheel that is Made in Germany

While I don't mind Canadian-made Rimowa, I have to have at least one made in Germany

BTW, the ploycarbonate Rimowas are assembled in CZ, not Germany.

Thanks Swissaire and Oliver. I will go for it in the Spring when I return to FRA while on my way to Paris.

The receiving country is the one that charges you importing tax, not the seller. Check how much tax your country charges.
