Thank you all for the info.
It´s very useful for me to know.
I know pretty much what the taxes are to take a vehicle in to Sweden but I didn´t know so much about the tax rules in all the states in US.
I´m pretty sure the import tax I will have to pay in Sweden is 12% on the total of prize for the truck (or bill of sale, I know what you mean crustysarge) plus shipping cost($1,200-1,500) plus shipping insurance($150).
And then there is some fees to pay for inspection and registration in Sweden, about $800.
Normally the import tax is 25% for cars plus 10-12% extra for a pickup but if the vehicle (car or truck) is 30 years or older and in original condition the tax is reduced to 12%.
And another good thing is you don´t have to pay any yearly road tax at all in Sweden if the vehicle is over 30 years.
crustysarge:
I thought these old car rules were pretty similar in all EC countrys but you maybe only deal with newer cars and trucks.
For vehicles from another EC country to Sweden there is no import tax at all. I imported a 1980 Camaro Z28 from Germany some years ago and I didn´t have to pay import tax, only the inspection/registration fees.
Thanks again
