Hi Gents, First of all I believe it's wrong to talk about EU customs: Italy makes the difference! Look here: 1) Back in oct 2004 my K2 kit plus options came from Elecraft under codes 8525-2099-00 and 8529-9040-00. Total amount US$ 1.719,03 (shipping and hand. $105 included). Italy customs changed codes as "transmitting apparatous + other apparatous" and charged on it EU.280,77 (VAT, excise,fees and more)!! I remember when talking about it on air some english and german hams answered me: "IT'S A ROBBERY!!!" 2) Back in jan. 2005 my soldering 808 kit came from Tequipment: total amount US$ 235 (175+60 shipping). Italy customs charged on it Eu.87,74 coding as "parts of machines and soldering apparatous". I could continue but I believe it's enough and don't try to decode italian customs mistery!!!..... Regards, Peppino IS0YPS
