Where the body is made could be irrelevant w.r.t. price if the final assembly is via Silicon Imaging in the U.S.

I just had a body kit for my Audi shipped here from Germany (90-pound package). The shipping cost wasn’t that bad at all. I don’t see how transport/tax for a 12-pound camera body is going to effect the total cost that much.

****the si 2k bundle****

Are we talking about the price of a bundle (as in the body plus accessories) or the body only??

No i meant kit. It is the same package as the one that costs 23k in the us. It is the body, the mini, a lens mount and the software to run it.

Are the EU based P+S legally having to give a better (longer) warranty to the customer compared to a US supplier?

Curious, because factors like this do add to the purchase costs.
