Question for the importer folks,
I've imported a fair number of vehicles from Australia, Japan and Canada so far (all for just myself, kind of addicting! ) I've been asked by a friend of mine to help his friend import a vehicle he purchased as well as import other vehicles for friends. I feel like i'm pretty familiar with the process at this point but after speaking with my stateside broker they told me I can't import a vehicle unless the vehicle is in my name or a bill of sale is in my name?
Certainly this cannot be the case as then I would have to have a bill of sale into my name and then transfer it over state side when it arrives which would mean I would eventually have to get a dealers license which I have no means to do. I understand this may tread on others 'trade secrets' but i'm just curious how that portion works.
