Good thing you weren't bringing it in from New Mexico, she might have insisted on customs forms as well.

Speaking of New Mexico. A few years ago I needed to register a new LAK trailer. When I went to the local MVD office, they essentially thought it was from Transylvania, rather than Lithuania, as they were not at all "familiar" and had never heard of Lithuania. It took perhaps 6 or 7 visits to various MVD offices, both state run and privately run, before I was finally able to convince them that I really was not a vampire (it was daytime after all) and that this was all legitimate. I provided them many documents from the factory and customs and finally convinced them that all was legitimate. Finally, just as we were about to complete the transaction, we ran into the USD-Euro issue. This was critical as they based the NM sales tax on the selling price and the my purchase price was in Euros. I then returned on the next visit with a document that I created showing the conversion rate of Euros to USD based on the ECB exchange rate on the date on the bill of sale. That finally did the trick and I finally secured that "Permanent" New Mexico Registration. It's never a dull moment when trying to register a glider trailer built in "Transylvania...." and no, my name is not Vlad...
