Just to balance the horror stories:  I have had a number (~7) of 
shipments to the UK from Elecraft over the years and only once was 
charged anything other than 17.5% VAT (plus the outrageous 
ParcelForce fee to collect it, of course).  On that occasion, I 
contacted Customs by e-mail, they asked me to send them the sticker 
from the package, and I got a refund of the duty within a month.
