I found the attached on a website... Has anyone in the US had experience of
bringing a car into the US that is over 25 years old and a marque that was
never sold in the US??? Any pain points? Can the cars then be registered for
road use?
TIA. John.
Importing a Car
The US Customs Service will presently allow the importation of any motor
vehicle 25 years old or older. This replaces the prior rule that the vehicle
had to be the 1967 model year or older. The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) will require you to submit form 3520-1 (Importation of Motor Vehicles
subject to Federal Air Pollution Regulations) to Customs upon importation.
On this form you will indicate that the motor vehicle is 21 years old or
older and no bond or EPA approval is required. The EPA Declaration code for
this vehicle would be E. The Department of Transportation (DOT) states that
any motor vehicle 25 years old or older is DOT exempt and can easily be
imported
Information on importing vehicles may be obtained from the U.S. Customs
Service
