Ahh, I see!

I ended up filling out the form best I could before you guys answered. I checked 2a because it made the most sense. I left a couple things blank (like the NHTSA number) but the fedex lady didn't really say anything about it when I sent it. Had to kind of guess the port of entry and look up the port's customs number based on the tracking, but it wasn't too bad.

Looks like I'll be fine, I was just worried this would be some kind of heavily scrutinized thing to import these, or something was up because I didn't see that anyone else had to do this (til I checked now... d'oh!) but it doesn't seem to be any problem..

Thank you for the help!
