Yes, but the money saved in buying will quickly be eroded by your time/frustration spent on converting. PAL is also arguably a superior format.

You'll also have to add import tax at approximately 20%, then P&P, and that's if you can even find a supplier willing to ship outside the territory. Finally, if it does ever go wrong, the cost of returning under warranty would be huge - if even allowable.

Where did you find the price of $1050 - the cheapest I could find was closer to $1800, with a UK price tag of £1800ish.
