just understand there are a few obsticales :
shipping is VERY expensive overseas
you WILL pay duties/taxes/fees once in the US
it will have to clear US customs
you will have to deal with your local smog laws
This shit takes a long time

good luck

MKIV or R34.


Pick your poison.

Both of these.
I brought back an R32 GTR and made a hefty profit after driving it here for a while.

It should be a relatively easy process for me.

The military will ship it back for me. and Ohio doesn't have any smog laws.

I'll be over there until 2022. So I have time..

Customs may be the worst part.

Sounds like you have time to watch American Gangster.

Get a poppy field connect.

Name your Heroin R34.

Customs is actually pretty easy. One the car lands in the states and you have the export paperwork its a pretty easy process using a customs broker. I've shipped 5 JDM cars over here in the past year and the average cost is about $4k for shipping, customs/import fees and registration on a $20k car.

If you have any questions about the process let me know. I've always used an exporter to ship the cars over so not sure how it would work shipping it through the military.
