Importing Procedures for Cars Over 25 Years Old
In america vehicles over twenty five years old are Dot (DOT) exempt from meeting federal automobile safety standards(FMVSS). At over twenty one years of age cars are Epa(EPA) exempt. To meet California smog exemption requirements, the automobile should be older than 1976. To have a newer car meet California requirements, it really is more costly, and often very difficult to comply.
