[Elecraft] K3 Importing to UK

[Dave G4AON]

Hello Jim

You will have to pay 17.5% VAT on the total price including shipping, it 
should be duty free (if they charge duty you should be able to claim it 
back).

When I received mine back in November the amount payable to UPS was the 
vat plus an £11 handling fee, you would normally be asked to pay before 
they will deliver. Smaller items tend to arrive by Parcel Force who 
charge £13, not what you might call good value. The only viable shipping 
option when I ordered mine was UPS, as the US Postal Service didn't have 
sufficient insurance cover.

I have just decided on my K3 options and it comes to 3400 usd including 
shipping. Can someone in the UK give me an idea of any duty/tax or 
additional costs I will have to pay when it's delivered.
Thanks
