Authorities In The U.S. Auctioned Off A Barn Full Of Smuggled Japanese Cars

The U.S. Department of the Treasury auctioned off a batch of unlawfully imported Japanese cars. Those interested in buying the batch must remove all automobiles from the U.S. Attempts to re-import the smuggled Japanese cars into the U.S will result in confiscation and severe fines.

The Japanese automobiles include some classic sports cars, along with several models of the Nissan Skyline GT-R and Silvia, and the Toyota Chaser. All automobiles arrived disassembled from Japan. The owner tried to avoid paying taxes by registering the autos as non-repairable items. He planned to assemble the cars immediately upon arrival, thus saving money.

Buyers can see the smuggled Japanese cars and ask any questions about them.  Moreover, all cars purchased after the deal must be exported straight from the storage unit. If the vehicles are re-imported, the owner faces confiscation and destruction of the cars, as well as a hefty fine.
