[Maarten van Rossum]

How about 19% tax plus another 3,5% for handling :-(
On the other hand, we get a lot of Dollar for our Euro ;-)

> It cost $350 (USD) to ship 2 x K3 and bits to the UK (#1122 and #1123).  The large box arrived very quickly, which wasn't important, and safely which was.  UK VAT of 17.5% was added to the total of the invoice, including the shipping cost.  I'd have been happy for the gear to come by sea mail (about 8 weeks from California) but it was all down to methods Elecraft use and the insured value of the package ($5400 USD hardware plus $350 USD carriage).
