Importing from the UK
Hi all,
I'm contemplating importing a vehicle from the UK. It's over 25 years old so is exempt from all the regulations, but I am struggling to find any information on fees that would be charged by the government at the port. I've got fees for shipping.
Has anyone tried this?

Re: Importing from the UK
Using RORO into Baltimore you will need a customs broker, a guide for the costs is as follows;
Submitting entry to Homeland Security $175
Importer security filing (ISF) $45
ISF bond $100
EPA / DOT filing $50
Merchandise processing fee $29.89
Harbor maintenance fee $10.79
I pay 2.5% duty on a Land Rover Defender
Defending on the terminal used I assume you do not have a TWIC card an escort to go on the docks is needed allow no more than $100 for this.

Re: Importing from the UK
Wonderful advice. Do you know if the EPA/DOT and HS fees are purely for submitting the form or are these fees charged for a vehicle that is under the 25 years old?

Re: Importing from the UK
Before the vehicle arrives you will need to complete the HS2 form and state it is over 25 years old.
