I agree about the head shape/fit issue. I always want to try on the actual helmet that I buy, because they can vary even with the same size marking in the same shop! I have found that particularily so with Bell helmets for some reason

I am not sure that it is a legal issue to own and use an imported lid.
As I understand it it is a legal requirement to wear an lid which carries a valid EU approval whilst riding on the road in the EU. However it would be intersting to hear from anyone with more expert knowledge if that is true.

As to racing, certainly for cars the standard is a Snell one or an old BSI one, as racing is governed internationally
