Hi Jim:
You should NOT have had to pay any duty to import that K2 into the USA
as the origin of manufacture is actually US made. In the past, I have sold some
collins gear, etc to US ham and there was NOT import tax payable to get into
the USA. You should apply to your US Customs for a refund.

Duty free?? Canada?? NO - I ought a K2 on eBay from Canada and it arrived
with a $23 duty COD bill for the import.
