Elektron Musical Instruments

I don't think you'll be slapped unless you had more than one unit. 
Then it would be obvious that you'd be importing for resale.  I doubt
you'd get any trouble.  I bought a ms2000 in Japan and brought it to
Korea.  Korea has very tough duties and controls.  The guy asked me if
I wanted to declare it.  I said no, he said have a nice day.  I guess
I just lost out on the only in Japan warranty.

Take it with you.  It shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't use
FedEx.
