Can your shipping agents counter part in the US not take care of the
necessary documents? Some years ago I went for a 4 week motorcycle holiday
(with my own bike) on the west coast, and the shipping agent handled all
the required docs. The time spend and the customes office was about 5
minutes. We had a short talk with the customs officer about what/why/how
long and said 'have a nice time'.
Insurance was covered by Statefarm BTW.

  I haven't been back to MD since the TRS-80
days. 
  But, ...
 wouldn't MD categorize your vehicle as a MOTORCYCLE? 
 I drive on my German licence plate - and therefore it's a car.
 I just need an additional US incurance with minimum coverage,
 the stuff required by law. THis saves a lot of hassles with
 local shaerifs.
