[Elecraft] Customs, Taxes & Handling fee's

[Roger Dallimore]

"I thus would like to know from other fellow Europeans what their
experiences
are, and in particular what change was made so that I now have to pay this
"Service Charge" to the carrier. Also I thought the K2 with its options were
exempt from Import Customs ? "

******************************************************************
I purchased my K2 last June which I received cash on delivery.

Import duty was �16.03,
VAT @ 17.5%
and the carrier (ParcelForce) charged �7.75 clearance fee.

The import duty was refunded (�18.84!?) on request by letter.

Import duty is exempt for the K2 and options into Europe from USA for now.
