-

3.

4.

VERY IMPORTANT
Things you should also bring:

Drivers License/Motorcycle License
2.
Proof of Insurance
3.
ISF Form
(not needed but bring it just in case)
4.

, the fees in California are high. Here is a breakdown of the fees. Total came out to be exactly $715.
A fter you pay for registration, they will give you a temporary permit , which will last a few months. In my case, it lasted 4 months. After it expires, you will need to go back to the DMV and get an extension if you have not received your plates. The extension will be for another 2-3 months. You have to wait for Sacramento to process and send you your plates in the mail. THAT’S IT �55357;�56842;

Important
You will need the
OFFICIAL CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN
. It
cannot be a copy
. You will also need the Customs Clearance paperwork. This can be a copy. You can just print it out and bring it with you to the DMV.
DMV will not touch your paperwork if you do not have these two documents.
You can get the customs clearance paperwork from the broker who helped you get it out of the port. In this case, I spoke with someone from CaroTrans who helped me find a broker and she just forwarded the document to me. This is how the customs clearance document title will look like:
FYI
In summary, just know that there are additional fees that you will have to pay Carotrans and STG logistics to get it out of the port and out of the warehouse. The total amount to get it out of the port for me was $1025.57 and the total to get it out of the warehouse was $240. The total to get it registered was $715.
In total, I had to pay $1980.57 in administrative shipping fees, taxes, and registration.
