I am considering another hotrod that is for sale in Canada. When I get it to Pennsylvania there will be a 6% sales tax to get it registered. Can anyone tell me what additional import fees or other cost there would be.
Thanks, Jerry

If it is recognized as an antique it's the same as shipping to the Eu, 6%.

Six years ago I bought a 62 AC Bristol from a collector in Quebec after he crossed over to bring it to me in NY for some "restoration" work. When I transferred title in PA I then paid our 6% sales tax.

You can try that but remember customs will ask you how you found the vehicle and then check the ad for price.
