New Jersey JDM registration FAQ
Vehicles 25 years or older are exempt from federal NHTSA and EPA import standards, and New Jersey allows right-hand-drive imports. The state requires side mirrors on both sides, and RHD headlight beam pattern must be adjusted for left-side traffic.
New Jersey is one of the more involved states for JDM registration. Bring your federal import paperwork (CBP Form 7501, EPA Form 3520-1, DOT Form HS-7), the Japanese export certificate with a notarized translation, your bill of sale, and proof of insurance meeting New Jersey's 15/30/5 liability plus $50,000 PIP minimums to an MVC office. A VIN inspection at the MVC is required, and short VINs may require additional documentation.
New Jersey kei titling outcomes can vary, and the state's mandatory inspection adds steps. Confirm the current titling status with the MVC or with a dealer who has registered kei trucks recently before purchasing.
Emissions testing is required statewide at MVC inspection stations, but vehicles over 25 years old may be exempt. Most properly imported JDM vehicles qualify for the age exemption.
Yes — New Jersey dealers ship throughout the Northeast and beyond, providing the bill of sale and federal import documents your home state's DMV will need. With the NYC metro nearby, many dealers do significant out-of-state business.
