Subject: The Inspection requirement for the AT, and TA's


    Hey, hows riding?   Please email directly back to me.

    Well I'm in the difficult process of trying to send my 98 Euro spec.
AT back to the US in the Arizona area. I have the opportunity to ship it
through the US military as I'm going to be working for them. The problem
again is that the bike has got to somehow show that it meets US DOT and
EPA requirements and standards. I'm told that if I can get a signed
document from possibly an import broker, saying that it does conform to
US regulations that getting a tag, and title is no problem. I have two
different forms one form the DOT and the other from EPA. If I can attach
something to them showing conformity then it will be no problem, but if
it doesn't conform then it will be just close to impossible. I actually
have to do this for my HD also since I bought it in Japan.

    Any information on import brokers who might be of assistance in
particular in the Arizona area will be greatly appreciated. Honda in CA
flat out said don't even try to bring it in. I'll be calling Harley US
tonight hope I have a better response there. I'm running out of time
very quickly so if you know of any contacts send me the info as soon as
possible.

    Any insight or information leads will be greatly appreciated.

Please email directly back to me.

Thanks,
