Hi Mike.....We frequently get asked about the EPA rules and how we can still import engines into the Country. I don't know where this myth got started (we ought to have Jaime and Adam at Mythbusters look into this!). We think it came from someone who was sitting on some engines and needed some quick cash and wanted to unload them real fast (that's one explanation we have heard). Truth be told, we have imported over 160 engines in the last year (all from Anand). They are shipped in and designated "for stationary use only" and marked "bio-diesel". We have had no problems, no issues and will be placing another order in a couple of months. We researched the ordering before we placed an order as we were burnt awhile back by trying to bring in a shipment of Chinese diesel generators that didn't pass the muster. They were confiscated and...as they say "Once burned,twice shy". We have all the confidence in the world (as it now exists) that we will continue to be able to import these engines and are working with Anand to insure that whatever needs to be done to keep these "allowable" can be done or considered. You shouldn't have problems bringing in your own, but be aware of all the costs. We have to pay for fumigation, x-rays, brokerage fees, container costs, shipping costs, freigh costs from New York Harbor, etc. It adds up pretty quickly!...Hope this helps....Thanks, Phil
