My wife just purchased a 2023 Yamaha X Max 300 scooter. She is wanting the factory low seat which is only available overseas. It is not in the USA acc book nor can my local dealer find it by part number
BMK-F4730-A0-00

Anyone know a reputable dealer ship for ordering this and getting it sent to the US?

There is an ebay seller in Italy, postage is fruity though. [url=https://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=+bmk-f4730-a0-00&_sacat=0]https://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html?_from=R40...0&_sacat=0

A very polite way of positioning it Tev.

We found a distributor in the Netherlands CMSNL. They had the seat listed on their website so we began the order process. The seat came up as listed for $86.79 U.S and the freight to the US at $21.78. The seat part number matches what I have, and it says Low Seat Xmax 23 on the order. However, the seat in the UK and Australia was over $300 plus freight. The one Tev listed is either $338 or $445 for the seat (2 listings same seat one italian one english..sella ribassata means lowered seat in Italian) and $98 for shipping for example. So, I was skeptical about completing the order. We have emailed them for verification on price, however it's after 5 in the Netherlands and they are closed until Monday.
Love to have the seat for that kind of money and freight for $21 but my wife can't mail a small piece of pottery to California for $21 and a scooter seat is huge and heavy.
One would think there has to be something wrong.

You have every right to be skeptical. The seat would come over to the US by airmail and the shipping would be a lot more than $21.78.
The price of the seat seems way, way off too.

well so much for waiting until Monday for a verification reply from CMSNL. Went out for a 48 mile ride and when I get back my wife says "I ordered my seat." I said "Oh, did they email you back?" she says "No, I just went ahead and ordered it".
I'll let you know what's in our $108 mystery package is when it arrives lol.
