In theory... I personally, have never seen this, but, from my understanding of the law, is entirely possible. Also, an engine by itself is exempt from importation regulations. Happy New Year! Rory Oroville, WA 1985 300SD 1982 300TD

[MBZ] Importation Rules

2006-01-01 Thread John Peterson
How many years old must a car be to be imported without EPA regulation? Is it 20 years? I'm thinking about importing a 124 diesel wagon from Germany. I know I need to pay 2.5% customs, but I am not sure about the year cutoff. Happy New Year to All! John Peterson Kingston RI 300D 2.5 77k
