This has been mentioned from time to time but still caused a problem when I ordered a KX1 kit recently. Elecraft's documentation is correct and perfectly clear - one of the commodity codes was 8529 9040 00. UK Customs truncated this to 8529 90 and charged import duty at 3%. If you don't pay, you can't get your parcel. Then the fun begins, because had all 8 (or10) digits been taken into account, no duty was payable. I'm waiting to see if I get a refund, but why do they still get the wrong answer?
