Last updated: July 2026 dataImported trucks, buses, and special-purpose vehicles must satisfy NHTSA Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and EPA heavy-duty engine emissions requirements, with CBP coordinating admissibility with both agencies at the port of entry. Transit buses and coach imports are also a significant procurement category for US public transit agencies, where Buy America provisions under federal grant programs can restrict the use of foreign-origin vehicles in federally funded projects. Section 232 tariff exposure on steel and aluminum content embedded in imported commercial vehicle bodies adds a further cost layer for importers.

Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Buy America rules generally require that buses and rail rolling stock purchased with FTA grant funds have a minimum percentage of US-manufactured components and final assembly in the United States. Foreign bus manufacturers seeking to supply US transit agencies typically establish US final-assembly facilities or apply for a waiver, which FTA grants only under specific conditions.
Importers must file HS-7 Declaration forms with CBP at entry, declaring whether the vehicle conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. For non-conforming vehicles, a bond must be posted and a DOT-approved Registered Importer must certify that the vehicle will be brought into conformance within a specified timeframe. Failure to comply can result in vehicle exportation at the importer's expense.
