imports

At Cult Cars, we specialize in sourcing and bringing in unique, European-made vehicles that are 25 years or older. As true enthusiasts, we understand the value and importance of these classic models like the Lancia Delta Integrale and Audi RS2, which have become highly sought-after, investment-grade vehicles. Our team has built an extensive network of overseas collectors, allowing us to locate the best specimens available for import into the United States. We handle all aspects of the process, including customs, shipping, and logistics, and go the extra mile by thoroughly inspecting every vehicle before it ships to ensure it meets our high standards.

Import INVENTORY

IMport process

Importing cars from Europe to the US can be a complex process, as it involves meeting the requirements of both US customs and the Department of Transportation, as well as any state-specific regulations. To import a car, you will need to have it registered in your name and ensure that it meets all applicable US safety and emission standards. You may also be required to pay duties and taxes on the vehicle. The first step in the process is typically to obtain an import permit from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which is responsible for evaluating the safety of imported vehicles. You will then need to provide documentation such as the vehicle's title, registration, and bill of sale to US Customs, who will determine the applicable duties and taxes. Once the vehicle has cleared customs, it will be inspected by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ensure that it meets emissions standards. After passing this inspection, you will be able to register and insure the vehicle in the US.
