I believe that is correct, however, this is for non-US SME. As far as I can
deduce from the original fracas when your F6 permits were withheld is that
two distinct and separate issues exist.
1. SME and other vehicles of non-US manufacture was temporarily denied a F6
clearance which has now been lifted.
2. ALL US manufactured and exported MV's fall under the auspices of some
lend-lease legislation/controls for war time and post war vehicles as
defined by Ike himself back in the 50's I believe, in that they could never
be re-imported into the US.
I believe your are battering yourselves on the latter stumbling block which,
owing to is longevity in force, seems an impossible nut to crack, however,
go at it and I wish you success.
