Importing Vehicles more stuff

[type53@yahoo.com (Mash)]

Good news, finally naviagated the govt. red tape:

"If the vehicle is at least 21 years old, there are no
EPA compliance requirements upon importation. The age
of the vehicle is determined by subtracting the
calendar year of manufacture from the calendar year of
importation. If the calendar year of manufacture is
unavailable, the importer may substitute the model
year or year of first registration. For instance, to
qualify in 2001, the vehicle must have been
manufactured in 1980 or earlier.

No approval or Customs bond is required by EPA. The
importer must also prove to Customs, as required, that
the vehicle or engine was manufactured prior to EPA
regulation. Documents such as a title, or letter from
the original manufacturer may be used for this
purpose.The importer must file with Customs, upon
entry, an EPA Form 3520-1 and declare code "E" on that
form."
