But if I'm importing it to use, not to sell, does this matter? The body responsible for CE marking here is Trading Standards. They are unlikely to even find out about it since I am not a trader. Toby makes a valid point as concerns resale, but being pragmatic, we don't live in a bureaucratic police state where officials go through the small ads checking on what people are selling, so whether it's legal or not, it's certainly going to be "under the radar". I think the only issue that may concern Elecraft is if it is likely that imports are going to be stopped at customs and returned at their expense. If it's OK for goods to be certified at this end then it obviously isn't illegal to import uncertified goods therefore customs isn't going to be bothered. -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???
