Importing a Car with Left-Hand Drive: Navigating Regulations and Requirements
ISF Template | 562-453-7357 | isf@isftemplate.com | www.isftemplate.com
In this episode of our customs brokerage series, we explore the regulations surrounding the importation of cars with left-hand drive (LHD) into the United States. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) enforce specific regulations that govern the importation of vehicles. Compliance with safety standards set by the NHTSA is a crucial consideration, as vehicles imported into the United States must meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). If a car with left-hand drive does not meet these requirements, it typically needs to undergo modifications to ensure compliance. Environmental considerations are also important, as the EPA enforces regulations regarding emissions from imported vehicles, requiring emissions testing and modification if necessary. However, there are exemptions and exceptions to these regulations, such as vehicles over 25 years old being exempt from certain FMVSS requirements. It is advised to consult with a customs broker to navigate these regulations and ensure a smooth importation process.
