I have a call to my buddy at U.S. Customs for the definitive answer. I have
never imported a Trabant, but the Don Garlits Museum, in Ocala, Florida has
one on display there.
I will post, in the near future, what I will have available in de-miled
Soviet tanks and APC's, with prices. The shipping is the figure that usually
kills the deals.
