Duty-Free Vehicle Import for Indiana Service Members Returning from Overseas

U.S. Customs and Border Protection, with the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles for titling and sales tax
Customs duty waived on one imported vehicle

Coming back from an overseas assignment, you can import a vehicle into the United States duty-free. If you did not pay 7 percent sales tax when you bought it and did not title it in your name before entering the country, the normal Indiana sales tax rules apply when you title it here.
