The United States Imported Vehicle Safety Compliance Act of 1988
What is The United States Imported Vehicle Safety Compliance Act of 1988?
The United States Imported Vehicle Safety Compliance Act of 1988 is a federal law that regulates the importation of foreign vehicles into the United States. The law requires all imported vehicles to meet certain safety and environmental standards before they can be sold or operated on American roads.
Specifically, the law requires imported vehicles to conform to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), which are a set of safety regulations established by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to ensure that vehicles meet certain safety standards. Additionally, imported vehicles must meet Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emissions standards, which regulate the amount of pollution a vehicle can emit.
The law also sets forth a 25-year rule, which states that vehicles that are less than 25 years old are not eligible for importation into the United States, with some exceptions for vehicles that are deemed to be of historical or cultural significance.
