[urq] 20V Wondering

D'nile ain't just a river in Egypt Steve, you are looking at general import rules.  You need to read and heed NHTSA form HS799 and check box number  one and stop worrying.  

Google it, print it, and smile.

BTW - can we blame Mercedes Benz for making it too expensive,  not only for individuals wanting old cars  but for big manufactures to bring new cars into the USA?     My old brains cells make me think it was M-B that lobbied hardest to limit our choices for the purpose of maxing their profits.
