[Elecraft] Re: UK import duty

[David Douglass]

When I got my first K2, I had to pay 10% of valve (~$75AUS) at the post
office before I could collect it. I was told this was applicable for all
imported items above $500AUS. When I got my second K2 earlier this year I
also expected to have to pay the same amount, but was informed by the local
postmaster, that customs couldn't be bothered to collect the money on postal
items anymore, and I didn't have to pay a thing.

Obviously the Australian government are ripping us off enough in income tax,
to not have to worry about VAT on imports..
