Leave it to you... Uh, what form is that again?

Since we are discussing the letter of the law, there is a booming business of "delivering" boats, yachts, etc. in Mexico and leaving them down there for a period of time. I don't remember how much time, but I know it's less than 6 months. Then, they sail right back to the local marina tax free. You can buy a car in OR and register it there for something like 3 months and then bring it into CA tax free, last I knew.

So, I'll just leave my parts at the border for 3 months and then I'm cool, right? Just wait until there's a crack down on this sales tax deal and types of shipping "warehouses" will be all over the place. Could make a difference when buying big ticket items including jewelry. A new form of layaway.
