[Ken Chandler]

Not the case!!
I've had the pleasure of returning my K3 back to the factory for adjustment.
I had the returns form, and proof of purchase form, some weeks later it was delivered by...........Parcel Force, and........No Charge!!!

The problem is that it is still high value although the tax has been paid once on that value. In that case, you might be able to declare that the goods are classed as used and appeal to Customs to not apply purchase taxes. You would probably still have to pay VAT on the shipping charges. :-(
