JDM cars becoming legal to import in 2027
Under the US 25-year rule, a vehicle built in month M of year Y becomes eligible in month M of year Y+25 (we show full clearance at month-end). This list is generated from our tracked models: any car whose production overlaps calendar 2002 unlocks sometime in 2027.
Only the build plate on your car decides eligibility. Model-year badges are not enough. Sources and caveats are on each model page. See also the 25-year rule explained.
