Importing a C30 CDI AMG to the US - Possible?

I've been doing some heavy research, as I've wanted one of these for quite a while.

Aside from the fact that the W203 falls under the 'substantially similar' clause for NHTSA, I've found that the OM612 motor was used in the Sprinter Vans back in '02-'04. With both those things generally working in my favor, do you think it would be a legitimate possibility to get a C30 here stateside?

If you find a way.. let me know. Would love to get the last year of the W212 E350 CDI, which came with a 265hp/457ftlb version of the om642 mated to a 9-speed.
