K3 - Import duties on replacement modules

Dave, G4AON
I see there has been a lot of discussion over vat, duty, shipping
charges, etc. on various items. Just to put the minds of those at rest
who worry about K3 and similar modules that may need returning for
repair, and how to deal with the paperwork of customs, etc.

I recently received a replacement PA unit and driver board for my K3,
this was to resolve a minor spurious problem on the 5 MHz band. The box
was marked something like "warranty replacement parts" and attracted no
tax. Likewise the return assembly and board were marked as faulty for
investigation/disposal by supplier.

Obviously if there are costs involved, such as buying an additional
module, they will quite correctly attract the interest of the customs
people and be charged accordingly.
