Subject: Importing @ to USA
I have decided to seriously explore the details of importing an @ to the US.
I have found an importer who, for $450, will take care of the legalities of
importing the bike to the US. What he needs from me is the serial number
and other manufacturer's information from the manufacturer's sticker on the
fork or frame of the bike so he can then work with our government people to
get permission to bring the bike into the country. He says he thinks it
should be no problem but that I should not commit to buy anything until he
has done the paperwork. Therein is my problem. I need to find a dealer in
a country that has the @ (preferably an @ that is not power restricted). I
need to get the information on a bike from that dealer and then give it to
the importer to see if he can actually get the bike into the US legally.
All this may take some time and the whole deal could fall through. Does
anyone out there have a dealer they trust, who speaks English, who might
entertain such an adventure knowing the sale might never actually happen?
Thanks in advance for any comments or ideas you might have. And if anyone
stateside has already done this and has pointers, let me know.
