Interesting.  The last time I imported computer equipment from the US
to the UK I remember there was no duty to pay, computer equipment 
apparently being duty free.  I'm pretty sure it was a reciprocal 
agreement with the US, is that not still the case?  It *was* quite
a few years ago when I last imported anything.
Not really relevant, but I do know radio communications equipment is 
duty free *into* the EU (however you *do* have to quote the correct 
customs codes).
