The DOT is responsible for issues related to the safety of automobiles sold or imported into the US. In order to import a non-conforming vehicle, you must have a contract with a company designated as a Registered Importer (RI) with the DOT. The DOT's Vehicle Import Regulations can be accessed via this link. WETL has been an RI since 1990 when the program was initiated. In order for an RI to import a vehicle, it must be on the eligibility list which can also be accessed via the DOT web site. If the vehicle is not on the eligibility list, WETL must petition the DOT to add the vehicle. This process while not expensive (approximately $800 US), takes in excess of five months. Below is a list of the type of modifications generally required for DOT conformance.
