S. without regard to whether it complies with all applicable FMVSS. Such a vehicle would be entered under Box 1 on the HS-7 Declaration form to be given to Customs at the time of importation. You should note that the 25 year period runs from the date of the vehicle's manufacture. If the date of manufacture is not identified on a label permanently affixed to the vehicle by its original manufacturer. to establish the age of the vehicle. you should have documentation available such as an invoice showing the date the vehicle was first sold or a registration document showing that the vehicle was registered at least 25 years ago. Absent such information. a statement from a recognized vehicle historical society identifying the age of the vehicle could be used. EPA - Vehicles over 21 years old. If the vehicle is at least 21 years old. there are no EPA compliance requirements upon importation. The age of the vehicle is determined by subtracting the calendar year of manufacture from the calendar year of importation. If the calendar year of manufacture is unavailable. the importer may substitute the model year or year of first registration. For instance. to qualify in 2001. the vehicle must have been manufactured in 1980 or earlier. The vehicle must be in its original unmodified configuration. Vehicles at least 21 years old with replacement engines are not eligible for this exemption unless they contain equivalent or newer EPA certified engines. No approval or Customs bond is required by EPA. The importer must also prove to Customs. as required. that the vehicle or engine was manufactured prior to EPA regulation. Documents such as a title. or letter from the original manufacturer may be used for this purpose. The importer must file with Customs. upon entry. an EPA Form 3520-1 and declare code "E" on that form.

California - http://www. importavehicle. info/2013/04/direct-import-vehicles-1975-or-newer. htmlDirect Import(or Gray Market) vehicles are vehicles that were manufactured outside the United States for which the original manufacturer did not obtain California or Federal certification(1975 or newer vehicles). The EPA normally covers direct import vehicles under the ICI program. but if a vehicle is going to be registered in California. it needs to meet the California Direct Import requirements. Any vehicle 1975 or newer needs to meet these standards otherwise it is not legal to register it in California. A vehicle model year 1975 or older doesn't need a smog(in use test) in California. So there is actually a 1 year gap between the two rules. 1974 or older does not need to meet California direct import requirements. 1975 would need to meet direct import requirements(FTP testing). but then would not need to be smogged after the initial direct import requirements are met. 1976 or newer needs to be smogged in California every 2 years1975 or newer must meet Direct Import requirements(FTP testing)1974 or older exempt from smog and direct import requirements. but need to meet emissions standards Email us - info@importavehicle. com
