Am i going to have problems or extra costs with export licensing laws. I am based in the republic of ireland.

Answer 1

Outside the EU you will need a import licence and you will have to pay import duty on it if its going to be a lot off it.

Be warned the Voltage in the USA is different than the UK.

Answer 2

Yes, of course, there is sales tax for expensive equipment from US, maybe you should have a look at the below link,
