Yep, just looked at the list, saw it, am disturbed :-)

I printed out all the forms and will see what I'll find out. The  
letter 5(a)(b)(c) does not appeal to me because of (c) - having to  
export it in a year again. Need the infamous loophole...

Well, well. And I thought us Swiss made it hard for foreigners to  
bring in their cheap cars... this is looking like more of a nuisance  
than one would imagine!

I am! Boy, am I - that's why I asked here in the first place.  
Obviously this needs more research. Let's see what I find out -- gee,  
has _nobody_ out here ever imported a car to the US? :-)

Good luck is all we need,
