In a similar vein, not long ago, I received a piece of furniture I ordered from Italy. I owed something like $30 in US Customs, but it arrived broken. The insurance claim, processed by the vendor paid for the replacement which was then shipped. The invoice on the second one was marked "replacement for damaged product," and valued at $10, so it passed right through without any duty or tax. That's how Elecraft should describe and value the radio on return.
On a side note, DHL USA is a horrible shipping company to deal with. If you have a choice when ordering something from overseas, avoid them.
