I would suggest the most flexible and least expensive solution is to stay
away from the primary vendors and go to the secondary market.  The best
source for active vibration isolation tables at low cost is www.BMIUS.com.
Bob Brahms is a great resource (he owns the company), they have a huge
variety and the prices are way cheaper than new..

I've just tried to buy a small (75cm x 90cm) active anti-vibration
table from Thorlabs.
Unexpectedly they just informed me that they can't ship with FOB terms
to our customs
agent at the border, but have to either ship internationally direct or
charge sales tax (we
legally cannot pay point-of-origin taxes on imported items). If they
shipped to our
customs agent, freight charges would be 8% of purchase price. Direct
international
shipping is 40% of purchase price. There is no local distributer.

Putting aside the fact that I'm astonished an established company like
Thorlabs aren't able
to ship on FOB terms, does anybody have a suggestion for an alternative
supplier of
active anti-vibration tables of similar dimensions based in the US or
Canada?

Many thanks,

Chris Wood
