    last time I heard it was cheaper to buy one there unless you are a returning resident.

      got this from a friend...


      Engine size Duty

      up to 1500 85%
      1501 - 2000 96%
      2001 - 3000 123%
      over 3000 182%

      This info applies to car & SUVs. You can only import vehicles 4 yrs old or less.

        There are some loopholes which some people use, like importing transport for Agriculture. If your are a returning resident I think you can take one car free as well.

        A friend told me it is easier to get a 4 year old deportee from a use car dealer. That is a lot of tax.

          Dem use the so-called green book to value vehicles, and that is often higher than the market value of the car in the US.
