Importing and what you went through with Customs and AQIS
Hi,
We are looking at finally bringing out our two dubs from the USofA. What I am curious of is some data from anyone who has bought out any cars from the
States lately (or anywhere really).
Who did you use to import, Where did you depart from the US, Who did your cleaning, Who did your asbestos check, and how did it go coming through at
our end?
Cheers
Penguin

Only just read a warning about under-body sound deadeners/sealers...apparently they contain asbestos. This could be a real nightmare to remove, so
beware!
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Hi Penguin,
Our import was over 10 years ago now but all I can say is, make them as clean as you possibly can. Get every leaf and nut and any nests out before it
leaves there. Our ghia had all of that in it and when it got here, all they did was get out a pressure cleaner and hosed the whole car out, both
inside and outside. Fortunately ours was a project but you don't want that to happen to yours. If you can, put them in a container as well after
having them cleaned thoroughly.
Also, make sure you get all of the approvals before you put them on a boat.
Yogie
