It's my (flawed) understanding of this that you should be able to get a
low-volume waiver for your assembled modules but it might require the
presence of an EU dealer. Apparently the latter helps with the paperwork.

A little bird tells me that Bob Williams, the owner of Analogue Systems,
already has a waiver of some sort...


The impending death of through-hole, no-lead solder, Apple switching to
Intel--I can't take much more upheaval right now.
