might depend on exactly what you'd like to import...
You would be AMAZED at how overpriced some euro parts are when sold through US tuners....yet on other euro parts they're competitive.

I can recommend someone, but I would caution you...
Almost 2 years ago, I worked with this guy in Germany to import a huge quantity of RS4 grills to the US. Juan M eventually started WoA, and took over any dealings with this guy.
He never lied to me, and he certainly had the opportunity to walk with several thousand $$'s of AWer's money. So as far as honesty, I'll give him a 10. Timeliness, and communication...well, he's on his own schedule. There was also a small language issue, and I always worried he wasn't quite understanding what I was asking. We never had a miscommunication, but if I was running a business, and if I had any special requests, I would be a little concerned. As it was, I needed *one* part in large quantities, and I already verified the Audi part #, so it was a no brainer.
The last issue I had with them was money...they didn't have any means of accepting USD at the time. I had to go to my bank, and pay for an int'l wire transfer to their bank in Germany. Cost me $25 ea. time.
Anyway, the last email addy I have for the guy is:audiparts-wotanAG@t-online.de. Name of the company is Wotan AG (if you do a search on AW, I may have previously posted more contact info (phone, address, etc). I dealt with Andreas, and later he passed by along to one of his employees (Sabine).
