Frequently Asked Questions
What is EPA Form 3520.1?
EPA Form 3520.1 is the declaration that your vehicle meets EPA standards. We complete this form with all safety and emissions compliance details. It's required for all vehicle imports to the USA.
Can I import a pre-2000 vehicle?
Vehicles must generally be 25 years or older (exempt from EPA requirements) or meet current EPA standards. Pre-2000 vehicles may not qualify unless they're older than 25 years. We verify your specific vehicle eligibility before you proceed.
Who handles US port clearance?
You (or your local customs broker) handle US customs clearance at the port of entry — we provide complete UK export documentation in advance to support this. Delivery to your address follows once cleared.
How long does EPA documentation take?
Typically 5-7 business days for UK export clearance plus EPA form preparation. US port clearance adds 2-3 days. Total process is 3-5 weeks from collection to delivery.
What if my vehicle doesn't meet EPA standards?
We thoroughly vet vehicles before purchase to ensure EPA compliance. If there are concerns, we advise you before you proceed. Most UK vehicles can meet USA standards with proper documentation.
