USA · Federal 25-Year Check
CHECK THE CAR. THEN THE STATE.
Check the federal 25-year date first, then use the official state links for your destination. This tool does not replace a state DMV or U.S. customs broker decision.
Use the real build date. NHTSA's 25-year period runs from the date of manufacture, not simply the model year.
Your result
Enter a car and destination.
You will see the federal age date plus a state research note and the official state source you should review before requesting a car.
NHTSA
25 years from manufacture date
At 25 years, a vehicle can use the age route regardless of FMVSS conformity and is entered under HS-7 Box 1.
EPA
Separate emissions paperwork
EPA's over-21-year provision has an engine-related condition. Your U.S. broker should confirm the correct declaration for the exact car before entry.
STATE
Registration is its own layer
Federal age eligibility does not override state emissions, VIN, title, safety or collector-use rules. Read the official state source before you request a car.
