We've ordered two K2's a year ago, with identical bells and wisthles. From
my notes: the K2's were EUR 2172 (Elecraft list price including transport).
On top of hat came EUR 413 'invoerrechten' and EUR 10 'Inklaringskosten'.
Now this EUR 413 is 19% of 2172, which is the going VAT-rate (BTW), so I
figure there are no other duties to pay.
Two notes:
1. I seem to recall that this was a cheaper route then buying from Germany,
but do check for yourself.
2. I seem to vaguely recall that we asked Elecraft to mark the package as
'transmitter', with a special customs-code. I can't recall exactly which
code that was, but may be able to retrieve it from an e-mail archive (that
is currently on another computer). Contact me directly if interested.
Then again, I'm not certain that it made any difference. I've only once
ordered from them.
So mine cost me just under EUR 1300, that's a K2, KSB2, KNB2, K160RX, KAT2,
KIO2, KAF2, MH2, KBT2 and an additional BATT.
Well worth it.
Best, Bart de PA3GYU
