Yes, you could, but I wonder whether this would be legal, or just
nobody cares.
The FCC form 740 have to be filled when a HF power amplifier is being
imported in the USA. The importer has to declare one of the cases
listed below:
1. An equipment authorization has been issued by the FCC
2. An equipment authorization is not required but the equipment
complies with FCC technical requirements.
3. The described equipment is being imported in limited quantities for
testing and evaluation for compliance with technical requirements or
marketing suitability. The equipment will not be offered for sale or
otherwise marketed.
4. The described equipment is being imported in limited quantities for
demonstration at industry trade shows and will not be offered for sale
or otherwise marketed.
5. The described equipment is being imported solely for export. It
will not be offered for sale or otherwise marketed in the U.S.
6. The described equipment is being imported for use exclusively by
the U.S. Government
7. Three or fewer radio receivers, computers, or other unintentional
radiators as defined in Part 15 of the FCC Rules, are being imported
for an individual's personal use and are not intended for sale.
8. The described equipment in being imported for repair and will not
be offered for sale or otherwise marketed .
There is no case like this: The equipment does not comply with FCC
requirements but is imported for an individual use.

Yes. You could purchase the DX5 with a nominal 5K output and the
unfettered gain of a 4CX5000 direct from Australia and no duty from
there. You had to watch out for those charging duty as you might
need to quote the duty free agreement.

REPLY:
When you say "sold in the USA" do you mean imported to a dealer the
USA and then sold? What if the amplifier is built outside the USA
and
shipped directly to the ham's home? Is that legal?
