When importing a vette - Is there a 12 months rule/regulation?
gtc:
Heck, no. I'm going to buy here, and I still want RHD.
It's just that quite a lot of the big block cars that I see advertised are either still in the USA or have been recently imported, and I've been hearing about importers and this 12 month rule.
Now I see that it only applies to vettes that are less than 15 years old.

What do you mean by 12 month rule?

If the car is less than 15 years old, in order to get a personal import approval from DOTARS, you must have owned and maintained it for 12 months overseas and be able to prove that. See my previous posts above.

All personal import cars must be owned for 18 months I thought & not just less than 15 year old cars. Didnt it used to be 1 year but now its 18 months(?) Most Govt. web sites are way out of date!
Mine was a personal import! at the time it was only 1 year!

Just to put a spanner in the works. If you are planning on shipping a car from the states you better do it soon. Ive heard from a reliable source that the yanks are trying to clamp down on cars leaving their country. Something about their heritage. New legislation in the next twelve months will make it heaps more expensive or impossible if the car has any significance.
