I'm interested in similar info for the UK. I'm led to believe that if 
it's marked "telecommunications equipment", and especially if marked 
"kit", I may drastically reduce import duty? Any truth in this? Any 
other tips?

Similarly, is it likely to be better to order from www.qrpproject.de or 
www.elecraft.com themselves? Being part of the EU and all that, I've 
already paid taxes if I order from .de I think?
