[doc] Re: "BTI" Article

["Claire Usher" <claire@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As I am one of the 'elite minority' who has imported a car from the
USA, I can clarify that BTI stands for Binding Tariff Information.  It
lets C&E (sorry, Customs and Excise) which work out a Commodity Code.
 Under the old system they were given Commodity Code 9705, now they
are 8703 which is why they are now subject to 17.5% Value Added Tax
and 10% Duty (on price of vehicle and shipping).

would like to point out that when writing an article it is a common
courtesy when using abreviations, such as "BTI", to explain what they
stand for when you use them for the first time so that everybody knows.

DeLoreans know what this stands for but when Phillip Wright wrote his
article for the club magazine he clearly did not give a second thought
to the rest of us that don't have a clue what BTI means.
