I bought amount 100K$ equipments from USA, and some of equipment delivered, only 2 more items left, but until now they still reasoning with us that that 2 items still under manufacturing process, and its been 3 month delay already. we paid total in advance, and we got bad reputation by this delay. i know that they are a big company in USA and they will not cheat us, but they keep promising to deliver the item as soon they finish manufacturing it.
mt question is. can i sue them from my country? or do i have to go to USA for that ? and all i have is my email exchange, some quotation and PO, can this become evident ? and what is our chance to win this case ?

You should contact a local attorney in your country to find out what your rights and remedies are in this case.
My gut feeling is that you will need to file suit either in the state where the company has their principal place of business or thier state of incorporation.
Whether or not you can file suit directly from your country depends on rules in your country. Logically speaking, how can an Italian court enforce a judgment against a New York company that has no assets in Italy? Think about it.
In either case, the courts need to have proper jurisdiction over the individual/company before they can enforce a judgment.

You have to file your case in the defendants (the suppliers) jurisdiction. Sounds like you have a decent case, but it would all depend on the terms written into the contract you have with them. Good luck!

A US company can be sued in another country as long as summons are properly served in order that the court will have jurisdiction.

yes...I would imagine that your country has signed a treaty with the United States that allows for international suits. Unless, of course, you're from Cuba or North Korea. Then, sorry, probably can't help you there.

Talk to a lawyer people sue America everyday...That's whats wrong with our country....all everyone wants to do is sue instead of trying to fix the problem.....do they not understand how much money they and you would end up saving?
