Last I knew, BMIHT was able to provide such certification stating that
indeed such a car was built for such a market. I think the cost is
comparable to or less than the build certificate. While you can't
necessarily get one instantly, I'd assume it wouldn't take much longer
than it does to get the build certificate (in my experience, that's been
about 7-10 days from the day I sent the fax to them).
