Rimowa has quite a few locations in Hong Kong
To give you an example: I found the Salsa 22" cabin trolley in the US through froogle for 475 US$. In Germany it costs 302 US$ (without VAT, because exported, converted at 1.36US$/Euro) and in HK about 490 US$ (3800 HK$).

Shipping from Germany costs 25 US$ to the US and 33 US$ to HK (for a parcel up to 5 kg). So in both cases you save around 30% compared to the local price (Possible import duties to the US are not included because I have no idea about that).
The website I found the offer was this:
