Vehicles at least 25 years old are generally exempt from NHTSA’s Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards requirements, although separate EPA emissions and U.S. Customs requirements may still apply.
Get Cracking can help coordinate car shipping to the USA from Ireland alongside your household-goods removal. However, vehicle eligibility should always be confirmed before shipping.
For current official requirements, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
