[Elecraft] Import to the UK

[John Lemay]

Hi Simon

Just to confirm: you'll pay a Parcel Force handling charge and then VAT on
the total value. There should be no import taxes.

If you have a dispute, it's easier to pay and argue afterwards, otherwise
you won't get you nice new rig until it's all settled.

Your letter from Parcel Force will give you options about how to pay
(on-line, in person at depot etc), and there should be an option to collect
your rig from the depot.

Good luck

Hi All,

K3/100 ordered and in the UK according to USPS:

Shipment Activity        Location                               Date & Time
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Into Foreign Customs     GREAT BRITAIN                          08/17/10

Yay!


I understand that Parcel Force will write to me so I can pay their 
charge and the slice for our government.

My Questions:

Is there a difference between "Import Duty" and VAT

Am I liable for both?

Any tips as to how to make sure that Parcel Force get it here?


Fingers are crossed...


TIA

Simon 2E0SCF
