Border Crossing Camaro and the EPA
Hi, Im moving down to the U.S. from Canada in 3 weeks, I'm curious and after hours of scouring I can't seem to find anything solid. Does anyone know if a 2011 LS will automatically meet EPA standards to enter the U.S. ?
It's completely stock at this point minus 20" rims and aftermarket tires Thank you! |

I would imagine so. I don't think there are any differences between US and CA cars

It was made to be exported there. The only difference is the headlight switch for DRL.

 If you had a European car and transporting it from Europe, I would be a little more concerned than CA to US. What state are you moving to? Some don't even have inspections, like Florida, I see so many POS cars down here that shouldn't be on the road it's ridiculous. I think you'll be fine in a brand new Camaro.

Hello all! Ok, I've got it after literally all day talking with various GM employees (who were al quite helpful)
I had to talk to Vintage Vehicle Services, they have a special letter on the way basically stating the car is compliant with EPA & DOT standards - $101.xx All I (well we) really need is 1. TPMS (I think they're stock anyways, if not I already have them) 2. Apparently the passenger side airbag DISPLAY symbol on the dash needs to be changed over to American spec...still waiting for total cost from the dealership in my area..>the lady at VVS said roughly $70 so Im expecting twice that after install lol! Other than that these cars are good to go pretty much! If anyone has questions, needs forms, phone numbers for this, etc..just PM me Thank you! |

Why would you spend money on any of that?!? Are you concerned you won't be able to insure and register the car in North Dakota?

Shhhhhhh, don't let the feds know that Canada, Mexico, and the U.S are breathing the same air or they might have to call out for a high priced consultant firm and raise taxes even higher.

Used to live in North Dakota til I moved to Florida two years ago. You should be fine. The inspections are not that thorough unless they recently changed

I would wait until you are in the states to make any changes such as side airbag DISPLAY symbol. They don't inspect at the border. You will have time to make any changes and depending on who does the inspection to register the auto you might not have to make any changes.
I remember when I imported a Chrysler into Canada. Needed to have a rear seat baby seat connection. When I was having the auto inspected in Canada to get it registered, the guy pulled a $6 part and dropped in it the trunk. He told me the auto had to have the part, but government instructions did not say it had to be installed (LOL). So wait to get any modifications installed until you are in the US. Remember here in Canada GM charges a lot more then you will pay in the US. |
