I see there has been a lot of discussion over vat, duty, shipping charges, etc. on various items. Just to put the minds of those at rest who worry about K3 and similar modules that may need returning for repair, and how to deal with the paperwork of customs, etc.

I recently received a replacement PA unit and driver board for my K3, this was to resolve a minor spurious problem on the 5 MHz band. The box was marked something like "warranty replacement parts" and attracted no tax. Likewise the return assembly and board were marked as faulty for investigation/disposal by supplier.

Obviously if there are costs involved, such as buying an additional module, they will quite correctly attract the interest of the customs people and be charged accordingly.
