- baybal2 6y agoYes, luxury imported vehicles are taxed anywhere in between 200% to 300%

- bushbaba 6y agoImagine if the us matched the tariff on Chinese made cars.
- baybal2 6y agoYou cannot import cars into US unless the exact same model been crash tested in US. And of course, manufacturers abuse it to lock US market.
- sokoloff 6y agoOnce a car that was never sold in the US turns 25, it can be imported for road use. https://helpspanish.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-278?language=en_US https://helpspanish.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-278?language=e... They can imported before that for museum, collections, or racing-only use, of course.
- bushbaba 6y agoBut there’s nothing stopping manufacturing in China and selling those cars in the us. No super high tariffs either ranging from 2.5 to 25%. Lower than chinas that’s for sure.
