Frequently Asked Questions
Being an experienced JDM importer, we know what you might be wondering about. Below is a detailed list of our most frequently asked questions with detailed answers.
In the US, when a car reaches 25 years of age, it is exempt from the NHTSA (25-year exempt), EPA (21-year exempt), DOT, and NHTSA.
Directly from the NHTSA: "A motor vehicle that is at least 25 years old can be lawfully imported into the U.S. without regard to whether it complies with all applicable FMVSS... You should note that the 25-year period runs from the date [(Month and Year)] of the vehicle’s manufacture."
Directly from the EPA: "A vehicle at least 21 years old (calendar year of manufacture subtracted from year of importation) and in its original unmodified configuration is either exempted or excluded from EPA emissions requirements, depending on age. Vehicles at least 21 years old with replacement engines are not eligible for this exemption unless they contain equivalent or newer EPA certified engines. Customs may require proof of vehicle age."
