- Just being curious - how much did Customs sting you for?

- Duty on computers is 4.9%. VAT is 17.5%. For some reason I've never tracked
- down, both are charged on the item cost plus shipping.

- UPS 2nd-day air from Chicago was around $90. So, for a $600 PB100, I make
- that around the $850 mark, or L430 total. That's well under half the Apple
- UK price (L1100-L1200 inc. VAT?).
