Update to previous post: All cleared
Just a quick update - today we were able to release our bikes from customs and the warehouse at Miami Airport. It turned out that all we have to do is to declare them as "personal effects".
A different officer was on duty today and the whole process (filling out one form) took about 3min per bike. No EPA Letter of Approval, no Form 3520-I was needed.
Just a declaration that it is personal effects you're importing and that they will be used by yourself only. That's it.
Too bad we had to deal with 5 customs officers yesterday who clearly had no idea what to do! And the shipping agent also had no clue about the process.
Well, next time we know what to do!
Cheers
