[Elecraft] Import to the UK

[Geoffrey Downs]

UPS to the UK, however, costs a lot more than USPS. Around $100 extra for a 
P3, for example - more than double USPS. This could well be more than the 
import duty demanded. I have never been asked for import duty by 
ParcelForce, but I believe those who have get it back in the end.

73 to all
