Practically nothing. The import laws create a high barrier to becoming an importer. This allows the importers to charge a high fee for doing very little. My Gwagen went through G&K. Overall they did decent work. It just cost wildly more than it should have (~15k in the case of the G). The price is just the cost of bringing in a unique vehicle.
