Importify Cars
Louisiana · via Port of Houston

JDM Importer for Louisiana

Louisiana sits next door to our Gulf gateway — Houston clearance, then a short I-10 hop home. Your car ships RoRo from Auckland into the Port of Houston, clears with your customs broker there, and rides an enclosed transporter to anywhere in Louisiana.

Importify Cars is a New Zealand vehicle exporter — we source, verify and ship Japanese performance cars from the deepest JDM pool outside Japan to buyers across United States. New Zealand imported Japan's best for thirty years: Skyline GT-Rs, Supras, RX-7s, Evos and Type Rs with English-language ownership history, NZTA odometer records, and the option of a physical inspection before you commit — none of which a Japanese auction grade sheet gives you.

Importing to United States: what to know

  • Vehicles 25 years or older are exempt from FMVSS under the 25-year rule — the entire R32/R33 Skyline GT-R run, Mk4 Supras, FD RX-7s and early R34s are already eligible, with the rest of the R34 range rolling in through 2027.
  • US import charges are currently 2.5% duty plus a 10% tariff on the vehicle price (the 10% tariff is current policy and can change); your customs broker files the NHTSA HS-7 and EPA 3520-1 forms at entry.
  • Right-hand drive is legal federally for 25-year-plus imports — titling is handled at state level.
  • English-language NZ ownership and service documentation ships with the car — no translation step.
