If the Eurovan is classified as a truck, which I'm not sure it is, the tax would be 25% and not 2.5%.

Importing any newer vehicle into the US is nearly impossible unless the factory built it specifically for the US market. A Eurovan with a diesel engine has not been made to these requirements. Volkswagen hasn't certified that engine for sale in the US and especially hasn't certified that vehicle with that engine in the US.

About the only way you can import the vehicle is through the "Show and Display" loophole in the federal requirements. I highly doubt that this particular vehicle could qualify.

If you could find a way to import it, it would probably make more financial sense to sell it and buy something in the US...no matter how much you like this vehicle.
