A detailed walkthrough of what to expect if you wish to import your own vehicles from a foreign country into the USA. This is more focused on the source country being Japan but it would be the same information from anywhere else.
Every time I do this I feel like I learn a few more tips and tricks but that's what people call experience.
Hope you find this helpful if you are looking into getting some quirky JDM or other imported foreign vehicles yourself.
