Suarezn:
As I said above, cars were being imported older than 5 years, but my shipper indicated that you paid the duty on a 2000 model (currently the oldest model year you can legally import). However, he never indicated to whom this money was paid or if their was an age limit other than that 1997 was acceptable (at least until April 30, 2005).
I am sending a 2000 model year jeepeta sometime in the next two months and will update the board on its progress. I have guided two cars through customs in the last 5 years and, has been pointed out many times, it is always the same, but different, if you know what I mean.
Respectfully,
