I'm not sure of the shipping cost, but of you put the right tarif on the box there is no duty.. watersports equipment is exempt from duty in the US from most countries, the list of countries that require customs is available online..

go to this website
USITC Interactive Tariff and Trade Database

the tariff is 95062900

Wouldn't that be going the other way round? He said US->UK, presumably its a second-hand unit. Anyway, this is about as close as I got to finding any useful info:

A typical trick that works many times:
Write in big letters on the box "sent back for repair/warranty".
This is e.g. what JetSam recommends when you send them e.g. a boosterpump for maintenance or repair.
worked for me, and the Dutch customs are usually quite nasty...

ciao,

Tino.

Agreed - done the same with my kiss / salvo repairs - the carrier tends to be pretty diligent when the package arrives back in the Uk though and asks for evidence taht it is what it says on the box!!!!!!!
