Read moreEntry rules
What are the rules for temporary entry, permanent import and transfer of residence in the USA?
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) treat a visitor's vehicle very differently from a permanent import. Duty on cars changed in 2025 and now depends on where the car was built.
| Option | Who it is for | Duty and tax | What you need |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temporary entry (visitors and tourists) | Nonresidents bringing a vehicle for personal use | Duty free for up to one year | EPA form 3520-1 and DOT form HS-7; the vehicle must be exported within one year |
| Permanent import | Anyone keeping the vehicle in the USA | Cars: 15% in total if built in the EU, 10% if built in the UK (within the UK quota), higher for most others. Trucks: 25% | Customs entry and bond, EPA form 3520-1, DOT form HS-7. Vehicles under 25 years old must meet US safety (FMVSS) and EPA standards |
| Transfer of residence | People moving to the USA | The USA has no transfer-of-residence relief for vehicles. A vehicle you bring when you move is a permanent import and pays duty | As for a permanent import |
| Returning resident | US residents bringing back a vehicle previously owned and registered in the USA | Duty free with proof of prior US ownership and registration | US title and registration, and proof it left the USA |
| Classic / historic vehicles | Vehicles at least 25 years old | Exempt from the 2025 auto tariff; the normal 2.5% car duty applies | Proof of the build date; exempt from FMVSS safety standards |
A temporarily imported vehicle may not be sold in the USA, and there is no extension to the one-year export deadline for a vehicle that does not meet US standards. The EPA does not treat the vehicle as exported until it leaves the USA, Canada and Mexico.

Customs clearance is through our broker, a local agent we introduce, or your own broker. Rules change; we confirm them for your vehicle before you ship.
Touring / Overlanding
Can I tour the USA in my European vehicle?
No carnet is needed for the USA, but the EPA approval takes up to a month, so apply well before the ship sails.
Before you ship
- Apply for the EPA exemption; it lasts one year and should start when you arrive
- Clean the vehicle inside and out, including the underside and wheel arches
- Leave cars and SUVs empty; check the carrier's rules for motorhomes
- Get a gas-free certificate for fixed tanks, no more than 5 days old
Documents for booking
- Vehicle registration document
- Passport
- Your address in Europe and in the USA
- EPA exemption letter
Delivery and collection
Deliver to the port at least 4 working days before sailing. Collection is usually 3–5 working days after unloading.
Insurance
Motor insurance for foreign vehicles is harder to find in the USA and Canada than it was. We give you contacts for liability and comprehensive cover.
Shipping home
We ship back to Europe from the East Coast, the Gulf, the West Coast and Halifax.
Importing to the USA
How do I import a vehicle from Europe to the USA permanently?
A permanent import needs a US customs entry, a bond and the EPA and DOT declarations. Our broker, a local agent we introduce, or your own broker can make the entry.
- Check the vehicle first
- A vehicle under 25 years old that was not built to US standards needs a Registered Importer to bring it into line, which can cost a lot. The manufacturer's label in the door frame or engine bay shows whether it complies.
- Where it was built matters
- A car built in Germany and one built in Japan pay different duty, even if both ship from Bremerhaven. Tell us the country of manufacture when you ask for a quote.
- Import costs
- Allow about US$450 for customs, ISF, EPA/DOT filing and port fees, plus US$35 per courier and a bond of 1.6% of the value (subject to a minimum) or an annual bond.
- Documents
- Registration document, bill of sale, passport, EPA form 3520-1 and DOT form HS-7.
