Import Protocols
Does anyone know the process that occurs when a car is shipped from Germany to the USA? I was wondering why, if the build date was suppossed to be 5/3, why the anticipated receive date is approximately 6/20?
I could see a few weeks as the car has to come over by boat (one week) and go through Customs (another week?) and get prepped by the dealer. But a month and a half? Any answers, good people? Thanks!
