Importing a car from Europe to the United States can be an appealing option for enthusiasts seeking unique vehicles not readily available domestically. However, the process involves navigating complex regulations, including compliance with safety and emissions standards set by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Importers must ensure that the vehicle meets these requirements or undergo modifications to achieve compliance.
Importing a Land Cruiser, renowned for its durability and off-road capabilities, into the US follows a similar procedure. Despite Land Cruisers being globally popular, certain models may not meet US safety and emissions standards. Thus, prospective importers should thoroughly research the specific model’s eligibility and be prepared for potential modifications or exemptions to meet regulatory requirements.

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.
