FAQ
Common questions.
What is the US 25-year rule?
In general, vehicles that are at least 25 years old can be imported into the US without meeting current federal safety and emissions standards. Rules also vary by state, so check requirements for your state before buying.
What does the quote include?
Your quote lists the vehicle price, our fees, export costs and shipping to your port, so you can see the estimated landed cost before you commit. Customs duties and local registration are handled on your side.
Can I see the vehicle before I pay?
You receive photos, video and the translated auction sheet or condition report, and you approve a specific vehicle before we purchase it.
How long does it take?
It depends on the vehicle, the auction schedule and the shipping route. We give you an expected timeline in your quote.
Can you find a vehicle that is not in your stock list?
Yes. Most of our work is sourcing to order. Tell us the model, year range, grade and budget.
