Hi,

Have a commercial invoice that clearly states
"Obsolete electronic
equipment for repair parts only - no commercial value". DO NOT mention
'computer' or 'EDP' or anything like that. Value it as per the above,
unless you just like giving money to the Customs Folk.
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).
