I imported mine through Savannah and registered in Kentucky.
- Since it was over 25yrs, KY didn't charge me the sales tax (if under 25, yes, I would have had to pay it)!!!
-The port tax, etc will most likely be charged via your importer. I used Schumacher. It took my car less time to clear customs that it did for me to get through chicago.
- One small issue I had...KY didn't recognize the DVLA-5 as a form of title. They worked it from a detailed bill of sale from the dealer in the UK.
- You may have to show the police where the vin is inscribed on the frame under the seat. In ky, the offices were right next door to each other. Police inspection was first and then right over to the dmv office!
Be sure to have the dollar to pound documented so you dont get over taxed!
Actual paperwork from Homeland Defense, EPA, etc will arrive at your house a week or two after import. Those documents are important if you ever go to sale the vehicle since it will be here legally and not a 'gray" car.
It actually went very smooth. Yell if I can be of any help.
