[Elecraft] Import to the UK

[Graham Smith]

Simon, it's worth checking to see if it's less expensive to buy from
QRPproject in Germany (Elecraft's European distributor).
http://www.qrpproject.de/UK/indexuk.html  Because it's in the Eu, the VAT is
included in the price and you don't have to pay the incoming carrier VAT or
a (large!!) handling fee for the privilege of taking the VAT off you.

>From their web page: "No Custom declaration problems,VAT included, shipment
only 8,00 Euro"

Thanks for the off list replies.

Consensus is

Yes you pay VAT
No you don't pay import duty
UPS is better if you can afford it
