I'm looking to buy a new Bashan brozz or storm vehicle from an online seller in the United States. I am very fearful because my DMV says the bike must have a label that states "this vehicle conforms to safety standards..". I have not been able to find a Chinese bike that has this label.
Does anyone know if Iowa will actually check the bike to see if it has that label or can I just give them the paperwork and we call it good?
All the sellers have told me that many people have already registered the bike in Iowa but I don't want to just believe them considering that the state says on both their website and in a private email to me that they will not register any vehicle without the national highway traffic safety administration's label. I attached a picture of what it looks like.
I do not currently have a motorcycle license if I were to buy this bike and wanted to ride it to the place to register it, would that be illegal? Also if I wanted to ride it to the DMV to take the license test would that be illegal if it wasn't already registered would I be pulled over for not having the plate?
I live in Polk county Iowa. Is it true that I need to pay shipping taxes in Iowa?
Anyone have previous success in polk county iowa?

Think the vermont registration thing would work for me?
Looking at the lifan xpect looks nice, not sure if it has the nhtsa label either
