Hi folks,

I'm looking to get a weather station for home. I've done a bit of
research and it appears that the Davis Vantage Pro 2 seems to be the
best (comments please!). I've also noticed a huge price discrepancy
between the US & the UK for this product - $500 v £500.

Has anyone bought one from the US? Are there any differences between
the US & European models? I know I'll have to add VAT to it when it's
imported, but anyone know how much the duty is likely to be on one?

I've looked on HM Customs web site and it says compuers are 0% duty
rated. Would his be classed as a computer?

Any advice welcome!

Regards,

Kev

Kevin,

So far as I am aware, Davis won't sell to overseas customers if they have
agents in the country in question. I seem to remember this bering the case
in the past.
They will probably tell you to go to ICS (or John Dann at
www.weatherstations.co.uk provide a pretty good service.)

Hope that helps.

Jim.
