[Elecraft] FCC ID & DOC # for the K2...

[Jack Smith]

Another possibility is to obtain a carnet. (pronounced car-nay) A carnet 
is a document allowing temporary importation of equipment without 
payment of duties and taxes, where the goods are only to  be in the 
country temporarily.

When I was active in the cellular radio telecommunications consulting 
business, we hauled specialized test equipment all around Europe and 
Asia with carnet documents without much of a problem. When leaving the 
country you present the carnet and the equipment to establish that the 
equipment has, in fact, left the country.
