South Dakota's registration system is a favourite with collectors nationwide — Baltimore clearance, then carriage west. Your car ships RoRo from Auckland into the Port of Baltimore, clears with your customs broker there, and rides an enclosed transporter to anywhere in South Dakota.
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.
