Read this before you rely on the dates
The sources for this row disagree, so treat both dates as approximate until the car’s own plate settles it.

US import eligibility
Worked out from the dates above, as of November 13, 2026 (PT). Eligibility is decided by the specific car’s build date on its plate.
- First builds turn 25 NHTSA, 49 CFR 591.5(i)
- Aug 2025
- Last builds turn 25 NHTSA, 49 CFR 591.5(i)
- Jun 2031
- First builds clear 21 years EPA Form 3520-1, code E
- 2021

- 2027
- Status today 2026-11-13
- Builds up to Oct 2001 are past 25 years; Nov 2001 builds turn 25 during this month
The 25-year line is the NHTSA age exemption for a vehicle not built to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (49 CFR 591.5(i)), counted from the date of manufacture. The 21-year line is the EPA exemption on Form 3520-1, counted by calendar year and limited to a car in its original configuration.
Eligibility is decided by the specific car’s build date on its plate, not by the chassis code and not by the model year. Two cars of the same code can sit on different sides of the line.
The form opens the eligibility check with this code filled in. General information, not legal advice.
