Would you like to import a JDM spec car legally?

"Stop using Homeland Security funds to seize imported vehicles, and change the DOT/EPA exemption to 15 years. The Department of Homeland Security spends a shockingly disproportionate amount of its budget not on security initiatives, but on customs seizures. In particular, importers of grey-market vehicles have been targeted by monies taxpayers have intended to be used to secure our country against terrorism and terrorist activity. We call upon the Executive Branch to immediately cease this wasteful activity, and furthermore to change the DOT/EPA exemption time on grey-market vehicles from 25 years to 15 years (to match the vehicle regulations of Canada), recognizing that the 25-year rule was enacted due to support from special interests such as Mercedes Benz North America."

The law currently states (in the US) you can import any grey market vehicle legally if it is 25 years or older (classic car rule). This is a petition to change it to any vehicle that is 15 years or older (same classic car rule as Canada).

14k more to go, we can do this! Post on other forums too if its not there.

There is already a thread on this and this petition will do nothing.

these import rules have roots very deep in the united states auto safety regulations. to change the import law almost all of the safety regulations will need to be changed...and that is probably not going to happen

the point of the petition isnt to get "jdm cars" its just to get the homeland security budget to focus on making us safe and not our cars
