Port of Entry for Benz?

What is the port of entry for E class and other MB sedans? I thought it would say somewhere on my car (sticker, owner's manual, etc.), but it doesn't. When I drive through Port Newark, NJ, I always see Jags, the Ford yard, etc.; where would you go if you wanted to sneak a peak at Benzes fresh of the boat?

Port

I know that your nearest vehicle prep center is in BelCamp, Maryland. Having never been, I'm not sure how much you would be able to see.

Carson is the port of entry for the west coast. My car came through the Port of Baltimore. The VPC is in Belcamp, MD. There is also a port of entry and VPC in Jacksonville, FL.

Thanks for clearing that up. I knew about the Carson facility because I was offered a job there as a QC inspector last year, but I wasn't sure if there were other ports.
