It is very hard to import JDM (Japanese Domestic Vehicles) Into North America, Especially Canada. According to canadian law to import a JDM car it must be 15 years old and older. However, The car I would like to import is a fairly new Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. Now, My question is; is there a way to get the car into the country by sending it in pieces. For example, take the car completely apart and send it over piece by piece. body, frame, engine, all whell drive system ETC.. then once the car is completely here re-assemble it? is that at all legal? And, if it is at all possible i would reassemble the vehicle debadge it, and state that it is just a regular lancer with an "evo body Kit"?
Thanks for your help

That would be cool... but no.. it would'nt work.. to regester it in the states you have to have a vin number and the vin in the us are way differant then the ones in japan. some of the cars you can import to the us without much of a hassle at all.. you just have to throw catalitic converters on it and a egr system.. but there are also cars like they skyline that you have to do a lot of pushing to get it through.. it is hard to do.. anyways good luck

Yes and No lol you can import it like that and register for a new vin and it all work BUT if customs figures out what you did *and they will* the car will be crushed, you will be fined a nice sum of money *or jail time*, and you will be charged with a felony *fraud* so you can't hold a public office and other what nots. BTW why import a evo and here in america if it simular to a exsisting car and it on the eligable import list then someone could. There are some EVO7 running around under these rules. Btw the time line rule you are refrering to is 25 years in america after a car is older then that it can be improted with little to no hastle
