Well as of today the car is on board the RORO ship in Zeebrugge Belgium, the shipping has been paid, and I have won round 1 with customs as they wanted to charge me an additional 12.5% tariff on top of the 2.5% normal import tariff. The broker told me it is 50/50 that customs will still charge me the 12.5% even after the Supreme Court said the reciprocal tariff's were unconstitutional. We will see what happens. But I figured if I paid it upfront, I would never get the $$$$ back.
So the car should be at my door in about a week, the luggage has still not shipped. Eyes Rolling!

Update, I was extremely fortunate when it came to tariffs, the ship docked in Baltimore a few hours after the supreme court ruled the old 12.5% tariff was not legal, and the car was received at Customs on Sunday before the new either 10 or 15% tariff started, so I just had to pay the normal 2.5% import tariff. That saved me almost $5k!
The car was loaded on the truck for final delivery to my house yesterday, and the luggage that had to be shipped separately is finally on its way and should be here next week sometime. here are a few pictures of the car before it was loaded on the trailer. It should me here around noon today.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
