[DML] Re: High Import Tax in Canada? Look to Norway (not) or Poland (even more NOT)



Hi Ed, he´s problem is easy to explain.

Ten years ago as the iron curtain fall down came a lot of so callend "businessman"
from Poland to the "west" countrys to buy all cheap used cars they can get. They
bought every pice of yunk including complete cars from junkyards to import this
pieces of scrap to Poland. At this time here in Germany you can´t get a used car
under $7000 the cheaper ones are completly sold out to Poland. You can´t imagine
at this time there are standing thousands (we measured them in miles) of that cars
at the german/poland border waiting for crossing it.

To stop that kind of business the polands made a law that forbids to import cars
older than ten years. But the polands are really funny people. By now the
disasemble the cars her in germany, so the have only "spare parts", put them on a
truck cross the border and build them back together in Poland.

So the only chance for Tom to import his DeLorean to Poland is doing it the same
way. He only had to remove the body from the frame and ship to car in two sets of
"spare parts" to Poland.

That isn´t really funny, but it works...
