Your Gateway to Japanese Used Cars and Trucks in the USA

Import Regulation from Japan to USA

Age Requirement for Importing Japanese Cars to the USA

• Vehicles must be at least 25 years old to qualify for importation under the U.S. classic or antique vehicle exemption, allowing them to bypass some federal safety and emission standards.

Vehicle Type and Import Duty

• Automobiles are subject to a 2.5% duty, trucks at 25%, and motorbikes at 2.4%, based on the purchase price.

Inspection Requirements for Imported Vehicles

• The U.S. Agriculture Department mandates an inspection to ensure vehicles are free of biological contaminants like soil and plant material. Cars must be thoroughly washed prior to shipping.

Compliance with EPA and DOT Standards

• Vehicles not meeting the 25-year exemption must comply with EPA emissions and DOT safety standards. Classic or antique vehicles generally enjoy exemptions but must still meet specific importation criteria
