Similarly, importing a Defender, a rugged and iconic British off-road vehicle, to the US involves adhering to stringent regulations. As with other imported vehicles, ensuring compliance with DOT and EPA standards is crucial. Importers may need to address differences in safety features and emissions controls between the original specifications and those mandated in the US.
Importing a Defender to Canada entails navigating its own set of regulations governed by Transport Canada. While the process may share similarities with importing to the US, there are unique requirements and standards that must be met. Importers should familiarize themselves with Canadian regulations regarding vehicle safety, emissions, and modifications necessary for compliance.
In summary, importing vehicles such as Land Cruisers and Defenders from Europe to North America requires careful attention to regulatory frameworks and may involve modifications to ensure compliance with safety and emissions standards enforced by relevant authorities. Prospective importers should conduct thorough research and consult with experienced professionals to navigate the importation process successfully.

FAQ
Learn More About us
Whilst inspections aren’t mandatory, they are strongly recommended when buying a used vehicle site-unseen. They allow you to ascertain most of its material facts, as well as an objective, unbiased professional opinion of its condition.
Not everything can be seen in an inspection, however any found problems allow you to have a fairly clear understanding of what you’re buying.
Absolutely! Negotiating a fair price is part of the purchasing process. An independent inspection report will often allow you the leverage to have the sale price reduced, depending on the outcome.
Buying a vehicle remotely in a fraud-infested world is certainly something to be weary of. Whilst guarantees are very difficult to come by, we generally recommend exercising caution when dealing with private sellers. Conversely, dealerships are more likely to have an online presence with real customer reviews.
Most major financial institutions will offer the option of foreign wire transfers. It is important to shop around for the best transfer rate. Services such as Wise* offer a competitive and seamless transfer service.
*LIMA Automotive Industries is unaffiliated with and does not promote any singular financial institution.
Once your vessel sails, our logistics team will begin preparing your customs submission. At this point you’ll receive your customs invoice. Note: it is important to pay the invoice promptly to ensure a seamless customs release on arrival.
Yes, absolutely. Simply provide your customer service representative with the garage address, and we’ll ensure the vehicle is delivered accordingly.
Whilst each state has its own set of guidelines, the process is somewhat comparable across the board. You’ll require a safety certificate, insurance, original title, Bill of Sale, and your customs paperwork. Once this is brought to your local road authority, they’ll be able to assist you with titling and plating it.
Your customer-service representative will be able to assist you with the individual requirements of your state.
