Answer 1

before you even think about importing a micro bus you better check with your local DMV and make sure that it will meet and pass state inspection. I have lived out side of the United States many times in my life and had wanted to bring my family car back to the US but found that it did not meet the very tough standards and was forced to sell at a loss. if it does meet standards which I very much doubt then it is a matter of buying it shipping it to a port ad then paying the tariff on it and then paying the tax in your own state and having it inspected  and certified that it meets standards.

some of these standards are emissions, bumpers front and rear head lights , tail lights, windshield, driver, passenger restraint systems. brakes, the list goes on and on I hope that you can find one that meets the standards, but I am not hopeful.

Note; I just re-read your question and didn't realize that you were talking about Egypt I would contact your local Department of transportation and still make sure that these vehicles meet your standards as well, after that I would contact your department of commerce and go from there
