[s-cars] Anyone know anything about car transport....

[brian hoeft]

a couple links i had saved...
 http://www.epa.gov/otaq/imports/factmtop.htm 
 http://www.relocatecanada.com/vehicleoffice.html
  not a direct link but... www.state.pa.us <http://www.state.pa.us> and 
search for the fact sheet on import&export vehicle procedure
 i had a grand ole time importing my urQ,-and still incomplete-, waiting on 
harrisburg to send me plates... in PA you cannot get temporary plates for an 
import, you must wait until your forms are accepted.
 where to start? man, youve got youre work cut out, but all taken one step 
at a time is not overwhelming.
 you should first find out mercedes' policy on issuing a 'certificate of 
conformity' (thats what audi calls it).. you will need it BEFORE customs 
will stamp the forms youll read about in the fact sheet... and in my case it 
was a gamble, because i couldnt get the certificate until i had a canadian 
registration in my name, but of course cant get it registered in my name 
until i payed for it.... *roll the dice*, daddy needs an old urQ
 theres tons more to know, check out those sites and feel free to contact me 
if you have any more questions. i could also then elaborate on a couple 
'less than legal' procedures with regards to the dash reading in KPH.
 kind regards, -brian
