Re: [Elecraft] UK Import Duty attracted by factory built K3.
From Elecraft, including USPS shipping and 20% VAT, at $1.60 to £1; £575. From QRP.DE, including shipping and German VAT, at €1.17 to £1; £680. But thats only half the true. There is another big difference: QRPproject warranty is two years and shipment under warrany is included. In USA you get one year warranty and as you live outside USA, you have to pay both way shipments even under warranty. 732 de Peter, DL2FI __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] UK Import Duty attracted by factory built K3.
Peter, I have to confess that you have a very good point there. We are so used to having good legally backed warranties in the EU that we forget that they have to be paid for! We mistakenly assume that nothing will go wrong, although in the case of the K3 for example, its modular approach would simplify matters. Part of the disparity in prices, it must be said though, is that the exchange rate with the Euro is not as favourable to us as it is with the USD. If we still had about €1.50 to £1 it would make all the difference! 73 Stephen G4SJP On 11/02/2011 19:42, DL2FI, Peter qrpl...@dlqrpag.de wrote: From Elecraft, including USPS shipping and 20% VAT, at $1.60 to £1; £575.

But with the excellent support from Gary and the team at Elecraft, plus the ability of most on here to carry out repairs themselves, it must be pretty rare for complete kit to have to be returned to Atpos. My 9 year K2 has never gone wrong, I have done mods to it over the years and changed the volume control, but have always had excellent service from Elecraft. The difference in cost for us UK customers makes it a non-brainer. I assume buying from QRPproject does not stop you getting technical support from Elecraft? 73 Dave G3YMC http://www.davesergeant.com __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] UK Import Duty attracted by factory built K3.
You can also buy from QRP Project in Germany if you want to avoid the high shipping costs from the USA. I think German VAT is now cheaper than ours.

Re: [Elecraft] UK Import Duty attracted by factory built K3.
I haven't checked all their prices but have just done a comparison between Elecraft and QRP.DE on the purchase of a P3 kit. From Elecraft, including USPS shipping and 20% VAT, at $1.60 to £1; £575. From QRP.DE, including shipping and German VAT, at €1.17 to £1; £680. I haven't bothered with a calculation for someone in the Eurozone buying both ways, but for the UK there's no doubt that direct from Elecraft is significantly cheaper, despite relative high shipping costs. As a matter of comparison, at today's exchange rate, the P3 would cost the equivalent of £440 collected in person from Aptos. I did a similar check some time ago on the K3 and came to much the same relative difference. 73 Stephen G4SJP On 10/02/2011 18:04, David Ferrington, M0XDF m0...@alphadene.co.uk wrote: Prices at http://www.qrp-shop.de/200/cgi-bin/shop.dll?AnbieterID=1 73 de M0XDF -- Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability. -Cicero, statesman, orator, writer (106-43 BC) On 10 Feb 2011, at 17:31, Julian, G4ILO wrote: QRP Project __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Elecraft] UK Import Duty attracted by factory built K3.
You will have to pay Local VAT on the price (including shipping) + a handling fee imposed by the shipping company (usually fairly small ) on importation to the EU there is no 'Duty' on amateur radio equipment coming into the EU providing the correct tarrif codes are used and the paperwork is correctly filled out. Elecraft are familiar with the paperwork requirements. I have 2 K3's and am selling the second one (SO2R is not for me! ) Contact me off list for spec and pricing. I can optionally configure it to you requirements. 73 Brendan EI6IZ On Wed, 2011-02-09 at 23:13 +, Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy wrote: Could somebody in the UK please tell me how much Import Duty (roughly) one has to pay if one buys a factory built K3 (100 watt version).

[Elecraft] UK import duty
This has been mentioned from time to time but still caused a problem when I ordered a KX1 kit recently. Elecraft's documentation is correct and perfectly clear - one of the commodity codes was 8529 9040 00. UK Customs truncated this to 8529 90 and charged import duty at 3%. If you don't pay, you can't get your parcel. Then the fun begins, because had all 8 (or10) digits been taken into account, no duty was payable. I'm waiting to see if I get a refund, but why do they still get the wrong answer? David G4CWB ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] UK import duty (fwd)
David et al, It's a mystery to me too. I received a K2 kit on Thursday which is now sitting on the bench, tuned to 7040.00 having passed all tests at Alignment stage II, has had the filters aligned with noise gen/AF spectrum analyser and the MDS estimated with a XG1 on 1uV at -138dBm (pre-amp on). I was charged 12.74 GBP for Import Duty and had to pay Parcel Farce (over the phone, by credit card, to Aberdeen) before they'd release it for delivery. They didn't even have the decency to get it as far as my local delivery office so I could pay in person - Aberdeen is 200 miles south of me (a 14 hour overnight ferry trip each way) It makes a mockery of the use of Commodity Codes to set the duty rate if the Customs routinely ignore correctly applied codes. Is it a case of charge them anyway and only repay the ones who complain? I am currently away from home, but when I get back I shall be applying for a refund of my 12.74GBP. Can't let them get away with it every time! Cheers, John K1 1672 K2 5542 (2/3 of the way there.)

Re: [Elecraft] UK import duty
This is a timely thread having just collected from Parcel Force, a package containing my latest Elecraft kit purchase. I was charged £9.23 import duty into the EU plus VAT on that amount. On all my previous packages I have been charged nothing. I phoned the Customs Excise (or whatever they now call themselves), and was told that the £9.23 represents 3% import duty on the value of goods ($539). They have an old computer system which only recognises the first 6 digits of the Commodity Code, and this is where they got the 3% duty from. The last 4 digits, if they bothered to look indicate that there is 0% duty. They seem to rely on customer action to correct errors.

Re: [Elecraft] UK import duty
Hi It is just too difficult to check. -- I had to pay import duty on my K2 - but the additional modules and upgrades purchased a year later went through the system with no problems. So why do they use the computer excuse. As you pay VAT on top of the duty (taxing the tax) you will get back a bit morte than the duty. My refund took three months with two telephone calls and two letters and to twist the dagger the letter with the refund acknowledged the additional evidence that determined the exempt nature of the goods -- the inference being that it was my fault all along. But with the fiasco at the Home Office why should any other government department be any better. 73 Peter GM8GAX K2 #4027 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
