Are US radars "CE" marked or do I have to pay an extra £500 to get a UK one with a Sticker on it?

That is a surprisingly good idea! I just wondered if Radars are like VHFs?

Dear Moose, Long time no chat.
CE marking is a mine field. An article for sale in the US don't need a CE mark. However as soon as you buy it for use in the EC It must conform to the relevant regs. You as the importer are responsible for the CE mark which you can put on yourself having certified that the kit conforms and you have a complete engineering dossier showing all the relevant calcs designs etc. (self Certification) this package is then inspected by an approved testing house who (at great cost ) provide you with a certificate of conformity which allows you to stick on your sticker.
You are also responsible to pay the import duty on the goods as valued by the chaps down at HMC&E.
The company that brings it over will probably want the tax paid before they deliver it to you.
CE mark It's up to you mate. You could take a chance and hope when you sell the boat some surveyor don't spot it. Selling uncertified stuff for use in the EC is an offence with big number penalties. On the brighter side the regs for equipment sold for maritime use are such a balls up at the moment you may just be lucky enough bluff your way out of a prosecution. But you'll need a bloody expensive brief.

Dont get anything CE plated over here ( or buy pre 1997) its a rip off you can get boats CE plated in the States for a couple of hundred dollars ( more and more places are offering this service) whilst over here the equivelent boat will cost thousands upon thousands.
