You can probably drive it there, but that doesnâ(TM)t mean youâ(TM)re importing it. Actually importing can be a pain in the arse and potentially expensive. It will need to comply with federal and perhaps local regulations, which isnâ(TM)t a given, even if importing from a jurisdiction with stricter emissions and safety requirements, or a similar regime like Canadaâ(TM)s. If the vehicle hasnâ(TM)t previously been deemed eligible, thatâ(TM)s more work. You might also need to prove that it hasnâ(TM)t been modified. You might have to pay for modifications to make it compliant.
I incidentally looked at shipping my car from Toronto to London when I was struggling to sell it at a fair price before emigrating. A shipping container at the time was cheap at about 800 quid. It wasnâ(TM)t even the hassle that put me off, it was having the steering wheel on the wrong side, even if it would have made visiting the continent easier. Ultimately though, Iâ(TM)m glad to still be car free 18 years later.
