[alfa] Importing Alfas - "Personal Exemption"

[Paul Witek <pwitek@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

As far as I know, the "personal exemption" was eliminated a few years
back.  I'm pretty sure that to get any newer vehicle into the US requires
the services of a Registered Importer.

There's a rather extensive list of hoops that need to be jumped through,
both in terms of the DOT and the EPA.  And, of course, you'll have to get
it through customs, which involves more fees and duties, etc.

I'm afraid the old days of just buying one over there and shipping it
back are over.
