List members - My brother-in-law is an import-export agent for a major corporation. He has brought "everything" into the U.S.A. from bonsai trees to Boeing 747 full of auto parts. I have asked him about bringing in a EV from Germany. He says: "The German model will not pass the side impact standards as well as the safety glass will not pass U.S.A. standards." My brother-in-law is an avid VW'er. He owns a Jetta as well as a Vanagon and knows the import/export business. If anyone knows if you can bring EV into the U.S.A. please let the list members know.
