I believe the UK still forbids the import of equipment capable of
putting out illegal powers/modes in the 27MHz CB region.  I think they 
require CE certification on complete products, although possibly only 
for ones that are actually traded in the UK.

The UK CEPT conditions require you to work within the intersection of 
the UK and foreign frequency limits.  That was also true of the US 
reciprocal terms before they went CEPT, so I suspect it is true of many 
reciprocal licences.  I.e., must UK licence holders, operating abroad, 
cannot take advantage of extended transmit frequency ranges.

Obviously, if you have a non-reciprocal licence from the destination 
country, you won't be restricted by the UK licence.
