Under standard general importation provisions, a used passenger vehicle must be manufactured more than 25 years prior to the date of importation to qualify for entry under the older vehicle pathway without needing complex commercial compliance testing. Vehicles newer than 25 years old can generally only be imported if they meet strict eligibility criteria under the Specialist and Enthusiast Vehicle Scheme (SEVS), qualify for the Personal Import Option due to long-term overseas ownership, or comply with strict mainstream volume production standards.
