Yes, we pay the $212 a year, but it's a verbal "do you have the temporary import" and I say yes and we are done. The fees are twilight zone, so whatever they say, I pay. I think the less you talk, the easier you're check in is going to be. We got the temp import papers in Road Town and were never asked for bill of sale, which is in my file in Colorado. We do carry USCG documentation.
