[Elecraft] K3 CE

[d.cutter at ntlworld.com]

Don't forget that, aside from CE marking, you are deemed to be techniclly competent as an Advanced licence holder and can therefore build your own kit and operate it within the terms of your licence. You are right in saying that you can import your own kit for your own use and if you sell it, it is not as a business for general sale of lots of these.

He can then quite legally fix the appropriate CE label and provide a Certificate of Compliance.   I could not comment as to whether W & S follow the requirments.  Anyone has the right to view the Certificate of Compliance for any product within the EC.  The importer then becomes the "responsible vendor."
