Default Customs, how long does it take to process a car?

My car is at the port (as per the Audi dealer) and I am curious if anyone knows how long it takes to process a car through customs?

For stuff like that, the contents of ships etc are done electronically even before the ship arrives

Default Depends on how much work there is to be done on it at the port

Sometimes they do updates at the port that may delay the car however long it takes. It also depends on how many cars are sitting there in front of it waiting to be picked up. It's not as simple as just driving it off the boat and onto a truck.

You're going to drive yourself crazy if you're trying to watch it that closely...

Default I completely agree with John, don't kill yourself over it. Think of it like saving money...

put it in your bank account and forget about it
