[Elecraft] Import to the UK

[Roger Dallimore]

Hi Simon,

You are not liable to import duty but most of my many orders from 
elecraft (even with commodity codes correctly printed on the box)  still 
arrive with a demand for import duty before Parcel Force will hand over 
the parcel.

Keep every sticker on the parcel just in case you are charged.  I have 
always been able to reclaim import duty but it is very long winded, 
usually taking several months and they have always asked for the 
"original" customs labels/invoice to support my refund.

Good luck with your K3, you'll have a lot of fun with it!
