The letter simply relates to the restrictions that almost all manufacturers have about unauthorized foreign sales. Imagine if you were the guy who paid or invested a bundle for the rights to sell Hummers in that country and learned that GM let US Hummer dealers export cars into your territory. There's also the US/non-US emissions & safety issues.

When I was in the military, we could order American vehicles through specific American dealers affiliated with the Exchange system. It may have been for US delivery only. I forget, it was a while back. Have you checked?

The Exchange is the store front. The men inside are a company called the Overseas Military Sales Group (OMSG). For the last 65 years, they work with manufacturers to get the best deal for service members. (This typically means fleet pricing.) Up until last year AAFES sold all GM products including HUMMER. GM has chosen to pull out.

I have two vehicles currently here as my wife too is on her own orders. We have thousands and thousands of cars here covering every car maker under the sun. Those same car makers have facilities here. There are no issues. In fact, I was just talking with a guy who shipped one of those Toyta Prius cars from Maryland. He takes it to the local Toyota dealer for his maintainence.

BTW all cars here must undergo an annual vehicle inspection, which includes emissions, in order to continue its registration.

You didn't say that in the OP. Now I understand your beef.
