CHECK OUT THE WIKI The purpose of the wiki is mainly to allow you to find information on instruments, either from either
- The model number
- The function(s) listed below. Some instruments have multiple functions - for example, the 4195A is a VNA, spectrum analyzer and an impedance analyzer. Therefore the 4195A is listed in multiple categories

Re: Shipping overseas?
Even worse when something sent from the UK to the US for repair (under warranty.)
On it's return, we would often get charged full UK duty/taxes etc, as if it was "a New import", even if the US office

They used to do that, and almost needed to see receipts for camera equipment.
That seems to have stopped perhaps 10 to 15 years ago, certainly, before 2000, IIRC.
Nobody seems to enforce that, not

Re: Shipping overseas?
Well, if you send some expensive material (Moduls, HDD etc)
out of the country for repair
you need to declare it before, because this part is coming back,
and so you and the receiver don't pay any
