[Elecraft] K3 New Synth boards in Eu?

[Fabio IZ4AFW / NZ1W]

Hi Deni,
    difficult and cumbersome matter, indeed, at least here in Italy.
For what I know, anything above about 25 euros value is subject to customs duties and/or VAT.
According to http://www.agenziadoganemonopoli.gov.it/wps/wcm/connect/internet/ed/dogane/cittadino/acquisti+su+internet/indice+acquisti+su+internet (in Italian)

Pagamento di Dazi, IVA e Accise
Valore	Dazio (*)	IVA (*)
Fino a 22,00 €	NO	NO
da 22,01 € a 150,00 €	NO	SI
oltre 150,00 €	SI	SI


So, up to 22€ value, no customs duties ("Dazio", around 3-4%, depending on the kind of stuff (electronics, etc.)), neither VAT ("IVA") according to the EU country importing the stuff.
>From 22.01 to 150 € no customs duties, only VAT
Over 150€ value, both customs duties and VAT have to be applied.
I assume that "value" is real value +  shipping (even if already paid in the originating country) converted somehow to euros.

Good luck :)
