HI Martin I got my K2 last year around October.
I did check with Elecraft and they confirmed that I wouldn't / shouldn't have to pay custom duty. I think it is classified as transceiver kit or components . I did have to pay VAT though. UPS delivered it quite promptly , with excellent tracking on the web. The only snag was that I was charged £ 10 services charges on top of their already handsome delivery charges for them paying VAT in advance and ?? may be clearing the customs . YOU shouldnot have to pay custom duty.

I built a K1 about 3 years ago now (my first rig in fact) and it has been in regular use since. I am more than satisfied with the K1 but feel the need for the big brother to give me more coverage, quicker band switching and SSB capability. I intend to get the basic K2 and add the SSB module at a later stage. Does anyone know the latest situation with shipping to the UK. Last time I had to pay duty and VAT. 73's, Martin M0KWV _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
