Hi,
just a quick question to any of my fellow UK K3 recipients ... how much VAT/Duty did you pay? I will receive my K3 Wednesday via UPS and just had to pay around 240 GBP (approx. $480) to clear the shipment! 73's Vic Tuff G7PYR _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

You UK guys are spoiled!!!! Our VAT went up to 19% this year!!!!
For everyone in the EU: There is no import duty on amateur radio equipment, "only" VAT (including VAT on the shipping cost). The correct custom codes to import at zero duty are as follows: 8517 6200 90 0 for complete transceivers 8517 7090 00 0 for antennas 85 17 69 90 90 0 for accessories, transceiver kits, etc. It helps a lot if the shipper puts the customs number on the package and invoice, since it usually saves a trip to the customs office on this end. 73, Mitch DJØQN/K7DX P.S.: You U.S. guys are spoiled with your CHEAP gas prices...we passed $8 a gallon over here ----- Original Message ----- From: <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 5:54 PM Subject: [Elecraft] Re: UK VAT! > Guys, > Yes, the dreaded VAT!!!

Dave G4AON,
When the time comes, Your comments regarding delivery will spur me to switch from US Post Office and Parcel Farce to UPS.

Vic
When I ordered a non Elecraft item (Larry's LP-100 power meter), I thought I would save some money by specifying US Postal Service Express Mail International where the parcel appears to be sent air mail to the UK and then handled by Parcel Force. Unfortunately Parcel Force then proceed to slow the process significantly, the initial delays may have been a backlog created by the earlier postal strikes, however Parcel Force sent a request for payment via Royal Mail 1st class post which took 4 days to arrive (no weekends or disputes involved) upon paying the vat and £13.50 handling charge via the P/F web site the item would then be delivered next day, or the day after (at a further cost of 50p) if the item was requested to be left at a local post office for collection. The value limit on US Postal Service Express Mail International is $650 which means it's not suitable for a K3 unless you want to take the risk and not have it insured. UPS Worldwide Express delivery on my K3/100 kit was $171 and much faster. The driver wanted payment on delivery with either a credit/debit card (and the use of your phone to call UPS on an 0845 number), he gave up waiting on the phone and accepted a cheque. It appears they may have asked for payment up front from Vic for some reason. The charge for a K3/100 kit with accessories ($2488 including shipping) resulted in a vat/handling charge of £224. The handling charge was £11, which is cheaper than Parcel Force who charge £13.50. I hope that is useful for those biting their finger nails awaiting a K3 delivery in the UK. 73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
