King Dollar and Buying Overseas

With the strength in the U.S. dollar, (UK pound is at 37 year lows, Euro at parity and the Yen the lowest its been since the internet crash in 1999) it would seem a very opportune time to be looking to purchase overseas. I have never imported audio gear and am curious how others have accomplished this, and if it's relatively easy to do. And, obviously, whether it makes sense to do so.

Very interested in people's thoughts and guidance, thanks.
