Good point.

Elecraft sells kits, not finished goods.  Some of the duty rates being
reported are somewhat silly given that what has been purchased is
a collection of components.

Admittedly, living in a free port with no VAT is wonderful, but I can
appreciate what it is like to get hit with the various charges being
reported here!

I had to resort to getting a second-hand pre-assembled K2 due to
current personal situation, but I sense the good folks at Elecraft might
be more understanding of the situation in the rest of the world & perhaps
can try to do what they can to help.
