The American outwitted duties and brought a Chinese car in the USA

A resident of Oklahoma told the Wared portal how he managed to deceive the system and legally import cheap City Kar from the Middle Kingdom. The story is dated 2021, but is still curious, because since then the duties for Chinese cars in the United States have only increased, exceeding the mark of 100% under Donald Trump. A formal reason is the threat of US national security.

John Karlin chose Wuling Mini EV from a joint venture with GM in China for imports. A resident of Oklahoma was guided by two aspects: firstly, this car hit sales records and was very popular in China, and secondly, it cost very cheap. Buying in China cost $ 8,000. It was more difficult to legalize an electric car, but due to loopholes in the laws, it was possible.

The head of Ford revealed on which Chinese car he has been driving for six months for a million rubles Ford Ford appreciated the US backlog from China in the field of electric vehicles

Although Wuling is an impassable machine, since it is younger than 25 years old, it was possible to do without certification. In Oklahom, there are own safety rules for low -speed vehicles that are not allowed to the highways. The amendment was made for golf kars and tractors, but Wuling also fell under the criteria, I only had to limit the speed at a mark of 56 km/h. The electric car was bought for city trips, so the speed limiter did not become a problem.

The Oklahoma authorities checked the documents twice, but did not find legal grounds to ban operation. Karlin traveled on a Chinese electric car for a year, and then sold it to an unnamed American company for research purposes. Although in the end, the electric car cost almost 13 thousand dollars (taking into account the delivery and paperwork), this was still a profitable transaction.
