Re:K3 - Cost of importing into the UK

[Bryan-48]

I agree with Geoff, why run the risk of HM Customs taking a look at the situation.  I presume Elecraft will continue to declare the K3 as a kit, and use the same tarriff code. The assembly of many modules, and many hardware bits, surely is a "kit" of parts  Still has my vote as a good buy.

Hello,

AFAIK, kit or not has nothing to do with it. Amateur radio equipment is "duty
free" in EU. All that must be paid is a tax which is equivalent to VAT in the
country where the equipment is being imported.

The status as a kit appears to be importance for the CE marking but not for customs.

I am not a lawyer, so ymmv...
