Temporary importation of a vehicle; expiration of temporary importation period.

Motor vehicles that were not originally manufactured to conform to all applicable FMVSS may be temporarily imported into the U.S. for specified purposes, including research, investigations, demonstrations or training, or competitive racing events. Vehicles imported for those purposes are entered under Box 7 on the HS-7 Declaration form to be given to Customs at the time of importation. Unless the importer is a manufacturer of motor vehicles that are certified to the FMVSS, a NHTSA permission letter is needed to accomplish such an importation. Instructions and an application for obtaining a NHTSA permission letter are found on the website at www.nhtsa.dot.gov. Once the application is completed, it should be faxed to the Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance, Import and Certification Division at 202-366-1024. We grant approval for temporary importations under Box 7 in annual increments for up to three years if duty is not paid on the vehicle, or for up to five years if duty is paid. We are not averse to granting extensions to existing approvals if we receive a request in writing to do so, supported by a full explanation of why the extension is needed. Vehicles that are temporarily imported must be exported or destroyed upon the expiration of the period for which importation has been allowed.

You don’t really have to worry about this. Our car transport company will approach you few days in advance if temporary importation expiry period. But still, if our car shipping company is not approaching you for this, try to contacts us on your own as a conformation.
