Your best bet is to call a US-based dealer on the phone,
and arrange custom international shipping for your specific
order.
You'll probably pay quite a bit, though!

I doubt if you will find a U.S. etailer who will do this. Chances are the shipping will make it not worth it unless you are dying to have a particular model. You will also probably lose any warranty you would have gotten.
As Michael suggested, try a regular dealer over the phone. Go to the manufacturer's web site, use the dealer locator to find a B&M store. They may do it. The shipping will cost a fortune as these sets are heavy.
You may want to consider buying from HK, Japan or Taiwan.
I don't know what your HT setup is going to be, but have you considered using a projector? Much smaller and easier to ship.

Nekobus, Michael do you know of any B&M dealer in US that I can contact and their email/website ? I have considered using a LCD projector but a good one like Sony VPL-VW10HT cost about US$6K. It is not an affordable option right now and would be my last option.

You can look up dealers by checking the dealer locators on the manufacturers' web sites(ie. www.toshiba.com, etc).
I hate to say this, but because of the shipping cost for such a large item, you might be better off to purchase and LCD projector. The LT150, which many people like, can be had for around $2400US. Check out the LCD projector forums at www.avsforum.com and www.hometheaterspot.com.

You should check Advance Logic - you may want to call them - their phone number is listed on the www page. I'm sure they could arrange international shipping for you

Heck, the search for an LCD projection system seems to me to be a perfect excuse for a shopping trip to HK, Taiwan or Japan.
