[Elecraft] Import duties on amateur radio items

[Bob Nielsen]

I had hoped when NAFTA happened that it would eliminate duties  
between Canada, Mexico and the U.S. (nope, it doesn't that way).

Since the K2 originally came (as a kit, at least) from the U.S. there  
may be an exception, but getting it may be another matter.
