Gun barrel seems to be short strangely...

the barrel is pushed back into the turret to save on shipping since you pay for cubic feet on roro ships

I was under the impression that it was enormously difficult to import armored vehicles with the new Customs regulations. What's the story behind this? Who does it belong to?

Yup, that makes sense but the work required to do such thing is not easy. The difference in price must be important...

It is expensive to do the work but since the breech had to be cut to US standards, it had to be removed from the tank anyway. It is not difficult importing non-US armored vehicles if you have an import license.
