How Do I Import a Car into the United States? Automobile Import Procedures for Returning USA Military and Residents.

We deal with hundreds of customers each year, and one of the most popular questions people ask us is how to import a car into the United States.  Short answer to that question is, it is very difficult!  Unless you are shipping a USA return vehicle (i.e. you are returning a USA vehicle you shipped abroad), you will run into some major costly headaches.  In order to dispel some of the rumors surrounding international car imports into the USA, we provide the following simplified guidelines for the everyday layman...

The (Non) Official Layman's Guide to International Car Imports into the USA

First, in order to determine if this guideline will be useful you will need to answer the following questions: 1). Is your car a USA return vehicle? (I.e. this vehicle was manufactured and bought in the USA, is under USA guidelines and specifications, and was previously exported from the USA and you are now bring the vehicle back) 2). Are you a returning US resident? (A returning resident is someone who is returning from travel, work or study abroad) AND  3). Has your car been modified in any way while overseas?

If you are able to answer "YES" to the first and second question and "NO" to the third question, you are in luck!  Continue to read below for more information on how to import a car into the United States with K International Transport.

What to Do Before You Ship Your Car Back to the United States and How to Get an International Car Shipping Rate to Import Your Vehicle into the United States

Before you ship your vehicle you will need to make sure you perform the following important steps.  First, make sure you check on the export regulations, including export customs clearance, for the country you are shipping from.  Whether you are looking to ship your car back to the United States from Germany, Italy or South Korea, you will need to follow the laws and procedures for your country of export.   Second, check the cost to ship your car to the United States from a reliable international car shipping company - like K International Transport!  

Make Sure you Have All the Documentation Needed to Clear Customs in the United States

When shipping your car back to the United States, one of the biggest hurdles (besides dealing with customs in the export country) is dealing with import customs in the United States!  If you were able to answer our above questions correctly, you should have no problem clearing your car through customs.  The easiest and most affordable way to clear customs, is to do it yourself.  When your car arrives at the port, you can clear customs the same day you go to pick the car up.  Customs even prefers this!  If you physically cannot pick-up your car, you will have to pay your international car shipping broker to do it for you.   In order to clear import customs for your vehicle you will need to prove the car was previously owned and registered in the United States.  How do you do this?  By simply providing proof of a state-issued registration card or a bill of sale from the USA dealership.  In addition to proving your vehicle is from the US, you will also need to provide the original bill of lading (shipping document provided by your international car shipping company) and an EPA form 3250-1 and DOT form HS-7.  To help you out you can click here for the EPA form and here for the DOT form.

How to Prepare Your Car for its Return to the United States

Now that you have all the information, documentation and prices you need to ship your car - make sure your car is properly prepared for its trip back to the US!  The  US Department of Agriculture requires the undercarriage of your vehicle is thoroughly cleaned before you ship.  Your car should also have no leaks and should have no personal effects loaded inside!  If your car arrives with any personal items inside, you are subject to costly penalties and the seizure of your car (of course to release the car back to you is not cheap...no free lunch with the USA customs office!).

Ready to ship your car back to the United States?  As one of the world's best automobile shipping companies, we can help!

If you follow the above simple guidelines, you should have no problem importing your car back to the United States.  For a brief version of the above, here is the list of items you will need to import your car back to the United States:

• Make sure you meet all the criteria in order to import your car to the USA without a problem.  You must be a US return resident and your car must be a US return vehicle that has not been modified while your car is abroad
• Check the price to ship your car from the foreign country of export to the United States.  Receive a free international car shipping quote to the United States from K International Transport
• Check with your local export country to make sure you perform all necessary export customs clearance and documentation
• Prepare your car for overseas car shipping to the United States - the outside and inside of your car should be free of dirt and thoroughly cleaned, your car should have no leaks and you should not load any personal items inside the car.
• Be prepared for USA import customs.  If you are able to pick-up your car, you can clear customs yourself.  You will need to show proof the car is a USA return vehicle and provide customs with the EPA form 3520-1 and DOT form HS-7

The above is a simplified version of the import car procedure in the United States.  If you try to import a non-USA return vehicle be prepared to have your car modified to meet American standards (this means coughing up some major money to meet the regulations of the EPA and DOT).  Non-conforming vehicles that arrive into the USA are not allowed to enter the country until the car is reconfigured to meet American standards.  In our over 20 years of experience in international car shipping, we have had a record 0 customers who are able to have their international cars modified to USA specifications.  If you are a non-resident worker, you may be able to import your vehicle under special regulations.  However, you must provide specific  paperwork in order to do so and you must export the vehicle from the US within a year.  Most non-residents  find it is easier to come to the US without their car.  If you are importing a car for other purposes such as races, or display at a show, you must have written approval from the DOT. 

Importing a car into the United States can be a tricky process, but if you are a return USA resident or military officer bringing your car back to the USA from Germany, South Korea or Italy, the import procedure is relatively easy!  For more information on how to import your car and to receive car shipping quotes for US return vehicles from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East to the United States, contact us at sales@kinternational.com, give us a call at 212-267-6400 or reach us on Skype at kinternationalny.  We can only quote the cost to import USA return vehicles!  For more information on importing other vehicles, please refer to the website for Customs and Border Protection at:  http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/basic_trade/importing_car.xml#Documentation

The Top 10 Most Popular Cars We Ship Overseas from the United States

Looking back at our over 20 years in the overseas car shipping industry, we have shipped thousands of cars to satisfied customers all over the world from the United States.  As one of the best international car shipping companies in the USA, it is no wonder we ship so many cars overseas each year.  After looking through our records we decided to compile a list of some of the top cars shipped overseas from the USA each year.  So without further ado, we present to you our list:

#1: Ford Mustang

Besides being the decade in which we landed a man on the moon, had John F. Kennedy as president and embraced the peace sign and hippie culture, the sixties was also the decade in which Ford released the beloved Mustang.  As one of the most popular sports cars in the US, it is no wonder it is also very popular overseas.  We have shipped vintage 1960s Mustangs to current 2012 Mustangs from the United States to destinations all around the world including Europe and Australia.

Whether it is a old-school 1960's or 1970's Mustang, or a current 2012 Ford Mustang Shelby, the Ford Mustang is one of the most sought after, affordable sports car.

#2: Chevrolet Camaro

The Ford Mustang isn't the only iconic American sports car on the list of the most popular cars shipped overseas, say hello to the Chevy Camaro.  When Ford released the Mustang in the mid-1960's, Chevrolet was quick to respond, and introduced the Camaro in 1966.  Not only is it a "small vicious animal that eats Mustangs" (or as so the Chevrolet general manager quipped during it's official release), but it is also a highly coveted car sought out by sports car enthusiasts in Europe.

How about driving around the streets of France in this Chevrolet Camaro convertible?  Pretty nice, no?

#3: Mercedes Benz M Class

So you're in West Africa and you're looking for an SUV that is capable of handling the rugged roads, is stylish and considered the crème de la crème of luxury and sophistication.  So which car do you go with?...Ladies and gentlemen say hello the Mercedes Benz M class which includes the popular Mercedes Benz ML 320, the ML550, ML350 and ML 63.  The Mercedes Benz M class is one of the most popular cars shipped to parts of west and east Africa, especially to Lagos, Nigeria, Tema, Ghana and Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.

The Mercedes Benz M Class is one of the most popular line of used cars shipped to Africa from the United States.

#4: Toyota Camry

Toyota is one of the best-selling and reliable car makers in the world, and therefore it is no surprise that overseas buyers clamor to USA car auctions and car dealerships to purchase used Toyota Camry's and ship them overseas.  The Camry is a classic mid-size sedan, and as one of the world's most recognized brands, finding replacement car parts for Toyota Camry's is relatively simple in most regions of the world.  Today, customers in Africa and the Middle East buy thousands of used Toyota Camry's from the United States and ship them overseas.  When it comes to reliability, Toyota can't be beat.

The Toyota Camry is one of the most reliable mid-size sedans in the world, and this is why overseas buyers love to scoop up used Toyota Camry's and ship them overseas to West Africa and the Middle East from the US.

#5: Porsche 911

Who wouldn't want to drive a Porsche?  The 911 is known as one of the top competitive racing cars in the world, and for car enthusiasts in Europe, Australia, Asia and the Middle East, a coveted Porsche 911 is quite simply a must have.  Although it took 5th place in the Car of the Century award handed out in 1999, it still remains one of the most iconic cars around the world.  Overseas luxury and vintage car collectors purchase and ship used 1960's and 1970's Porsche 911's from the United States to Europe, Australia, Asia and the Middle East.  

Car enthusiasts around the world love the Porsche 911.  Whether you are cruising the streets of Dubai or London, the 911 is one of the best rides anywhere in the world.

 #6: Honda Civic

The Honda Civic is one of the most well-known subcompact cars in North America, and likewise overseas in Africa.  It is also well beloved by our neighbors up north as it has been the top selling car in Canada for the past 14 years.  Each year hundreds of used Honda Civic's are shipped overseas from the United States to countries in West Africa including Nigeria, Ghana, Benin, Senegal and Cameroon.  The Honda Civic is considered an affordable and reliable car.  Used Honda Civic's are normally available at very affordable prices in the United States, and therefore it is also one of our most shipped cars overseas.

The Honda Civic is one of the best selling cars in North America, and is also very popular with overseas buyers in Africa

 #7: Toyota Corolla

The Camry isn't the only Toyota to make the list of most popular cars sold overseas.  The Toyota Corolla isn't only the best selling car in the world, it is also one of the most popular used cars shipped from the United States to Africa, Latin America, Europe and more.  So what makes the Toyota Corolla so special?  It is unbelievably reliable, easy to fix in overseas markets, has excellent fuel efficiency and used Corolla's are available at an affordable price.  Who said you can't have your cake and eat it too?  

It should come as no surprise that the world's best selling car is also on our list of the most popular cars shipped overseas from the USA.

#8: Mini Cooper

The mini was considered an iconic British car and after receiving lukewarm reception in the 1960's was reintroduced to the American market in 2002.  Since then, the number of used mini cooper's bought and shipped from the United States has steadily increased.  BMW took over the mini marquee in the late 1990's and since then the mini has evolved to include mini cooper convertibles. Most of the mini cooper's we have shipped overseas have gone to Latin America and Europe. Today the mini cooper is known as one of the most stylish and reliable small cars in the world.

Americans moving abroad to Europe and Latin America always bring the mini-coopers along with them, as a result the mini cooper is one of our most popular cars shipped overseas.

 #9: Hummer H3

Although the Hummer H3 seized production in 2010, the Hummer craze of the early 2000's now provides international buyers with a decent selection of used Hummers.  And when you need to go over the rugged terrain of Africa or Latin America, no car is better than the heavy duty Hummer.  Originally built as an off-terrain vehicle used in the military, the popularity of the car took off when Mr. Terminator himself Arnold Schwarzenegger, was spotted destroying the streets of California in the monster truck.  Although the popularity of the Hummer started to diminish with rising fuel prices, the smallest version of the lot, the H3, is still a coveted commodity overseas.

The Hummer H3 is a perfect vehicle for the terrain of Latin America and Africa. 

#10: BMW 3 Series

Always considered one of the best cars on the road, we have shipped tons of  BMW 3 series vehicles including the 325, 328 and 335 overseas from the US.  The three series is considered BMW's best selling model and it is also a prized vehicle in several countries overseas. We have shipped BMW 3 series to ports in Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa.  So what makes the BMW 3 series so special?  It is the perfect blend of sophistication, luxury and affordability for the luxury car niche.  

The BMW 3 series is considered one of the best lines of vehicles in the world, and affordable used BMW's are available for overseas buyers. For Americans moving abroad, leaving behind their treasured BMW 3 series is too much to bear.

So there you have it, our list of the top 10 vehicles we have shipped overseas from the United States.
