Ferrari Mailing List: Importing cars to US

[Cody Laird (ecl3]

As Clyde knows I imported my 1990 348Tb from Germany a few years ago and all that was required was the 2.5% import tax. 

Any car 25 years or older is not required to meet EPA standards or DOT standards. So any car manufactured before 95 is very easy to import. For Canadian cars the age is 30 years or older. 

Here’s a good document reference: https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPDF.cgi?Dockey=P10081IS.pdf

Cars 20 to 24 years old must meet EPA standards but not DOT. For Canadian cars they are required to meet the safety restraint (automatic seat belts) if 25 years or newer. This is usually the biggest deterrent , for example having to install the dreaded mouse track seat belts. 

Anything newer that 20 years is required to meet both and must be converted to US specs by an approved conversion importer shop.

Best,

Cody

Two lists that need to be satisfied. EPA has the way in what comes out the tailpipe.  Can be as easy as the right tuning for the test.  If the engine doesn?t have EPA cert in some form, you are done as cost of feet is too high

The harder stuff is DOT. Structurally you need roof and door beams    The 550 would be nearly impossible, as you?d have to open the roof. The 360 has an acceptable roof structure, so you only need to swap doors.

The rest is obvious when you know - speedo in mph, BRAKE  vs ((  )) on dash, wide angle pass mirror with ?objects may appear? etc.

As design became more Worldwide more cars meet or can easily be swapped.

However for the really good stuff there is show and display - which lets you keep the car for limited use without modifications. But it has to be interesting

Truth is there has never been much on the enforcement side.  Once you gave papers it us the Wild West.

Don?t know about duty but cars from Canada may not be DOT approved.

I am aware of a late model Chrysler that came with FI in USofA but was, and it ran much better, carburetor from Canada.  Of all things there was an approved DOT kit to transform that car to US standards.  It included, of all things, sun visors, decals, radiator, manifolds (intake and exhaust) complete new loom (I think the radio  was ok but it only got Sgt Preston of Yukon) gas line, gas tank instrument panel and and and . . . .

Of course Amerispec would be glad to certify your 288 GTO or Boxer.

Does anyone know if duty has to be paid on used cars bought in Canada and brought into the USA?

Unless I am wrong both the 550 and 360 are world wide cars so they meet DOT specs

Clyde is correct...

If the car is of the same spec (DOT or EPA) then you can import to the USA from Canada.

I purchased a car in Ontario that was 10yrs old and imported it myself at the border.

The car was identical from a safety and emissions standpoint so there was no issue.

It did have all English/French warning labels and all instruments were metric.

I had a US state title 14 days later...
