I couldn't agree more.  451 cubic inches of pure Mopar Muscle.  510 Hp 544 ft/lb of torque in my 68 Dodge Charger.  I wouldn't trade it for an Evo, Subaru, and definately not a honda.

The government? - Don't you realise the deficit in the balance of payments are things mainly bought by the American people and companies.  How much have you spent on on Chinese produce?  You sure - Do you know how many components in electric goods from Japan, Korea and the US are actually made or put together in China.  Well get used to it,  People will always look for value for money - Even patriotic Americans.

When we import products from other countries we spend US currency to purchase them. This money then goes to fuel the economy of whichever country the product came from. (We pay applicable taxes on these products that go to our local city,state and federal government.) If other countries do not buy our products and we keep buying there products this affects jobs and the value of our money. A devalued dollar can work both ways. It will affect US citizens in a negative way and affect foreigners in a positive way. Hopefully the people we trust to keep this balance can manage to keep it in check. I hope this answer puts some light on the topic.

If you are importing computers into Switzerland, There may be a 7.6 percent value added tax for most products. There is a reduced rate of 2.4 percent on certain products, often basic necessities and food stuffs.\nAs for Import duties, Computers SHOULD be free of any, as they are classified under heading 8471 of the Customs tariff.\nIf you have any doubts, you can always contact your local customs office, a customs broker or courier company, as most international courier companies have in house custom brokers that would be glad to help you.

It goes both ways. American invests in the cheap imports from China. Things such as tvs, cars, clothing, and electronics are exported from that country to the U.S. \n\nYet, U.S. materials and U.S. finances are exported largely to China. Examples include wood, cotton, machinery, dye, food, and businesses. This import/export agreement ,along with low tariffs, gives China the supplies it needs to become a bigger world leader and gives the U.S. more influence in that country.

Best bet would be to compile it yourself.  In US, you can use yellowpages.com to get a listing and contact information for "import/export" companies

Green card has no relevance here. Its your money to import\nwhatever you want. Open a company and work legally.\nGo through a bank.

yes, we demand cheaper products, the world ( India, Russia, China ) responds. Eventually the Chinise will make full size pick up trucks that are affordable and durable, kool. the other poster is a MORON in saying buy USA, only if it's good will I buy, it the USA corp's fault for making crappy products to the point that outsiders came in and gave us what we needed, ( cheaper too, but then that's also a UNION problem as well, see GM and the UAW for their headaches ). We used to make the best, ect.. we still do in some catagories, but there is not a USA made company that does not sell / import from abroad ( mainly China ). If you fear being outsourced, then you will, as if you are any good you will be in demand ( same hold true dating / marriage ).

Take a motor mechanic with you, if you know one. If not ask around until you find one. I would avoid the imported ones as they tend to have higher prices on spare parts. \n\nAlso, shop around as there plenty of second hand vehicles to choose from and dont be backwards about bartering for a cheaper price with the sales people.

Customs bikes and trikes cost more because of the  Duty and Taxes on Imported Products. \n\n    * tariff classifications,\n    * import duty rates,\n    * quotas restrictions,\n    * and all other product specific import details. \nAll play apart in the final price of the product you buy or have imported.\n\nIf your talking about having a bike custom built in this country and there is only a few reasons for doing so and the biggest reason for costing so much is materials and components. \nMost people that have a bike built do with the highest grade and lightest materials available, and the best components they can find and it ups the cost, then you can look forward to paying a builder top dollar to do the build and it's not cheap.\n\nIMO unless your made of money and can put this bike on the wall to look pretty and or for show, it's a waste cause I'm sure not going to put a custom on the road for riding.

Depends on where it is manufactured, and hence the difference in manufacturing costs. Or if it is imported, then the import duty.
