[Elecraft] Import tax and VAT (UK)

[David Andrews]

VAT on the K3 kit is payable but not import tax. The latter depends on the
accuracy of the 'code' numbers supplied by Elecraft, and I've always found
these absolutely right. UK Customs unfortunately often can't be bothered
checking the full number in their book (also on the web) and they have
charged import tax on two out of three occasions. It's a real slog claiming
it back - all the paper work is needed - bureaucracy at its very worst.
