My guess is that you win some and lose some, David. I was surprised that
I didn't even have pay the VAT on my 30/80m & firmware KX1 upgrade even
thought the UK cost was more than the £18 limit for merchandise. I am
not complaining, but the best of luck in your own pursuit.

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?
