Thank-you for the clarification fellows.
I've been sending British-made instruments back to GB for years. I
always write "instrument manufactured in England returning to England"
on the customs form and have never had anyone have to pay duty. I
guess ignorance is bliss.
Best that folks not assume they'll continue to be the beneficiaries of
my dumb luck. :)
I think it's cranky of the Britts to charge their own citizens customs
on stuff made by their own citizens. You guys should throw some tea
into a harbor. It worked wonders for us. ;0)

I certainly think that's true- duty and also VAT.
