FAQ
When can I import a Toyota Supra (A80) final cars?
Estimated window: final builds by July 2027 (or August 2027). Eligibility depends on the individual car's build month. The build month is unverified in our data; any individual car's month must still be read from its plate/export certificate.
Is the launch date the same as the build date?
No. The 25-year clock runs from each car's own manufacture date, not its launch date.
Does the EPA 21-year rule apply too?
EPA uses a separate test (calendar year of manufacture subtracted from year of import, original unmodified configuration). State rules such as California's are also separate.
