Spotlight on how to import a car

Many people have decided to oversee their own car imports without knowing everything that the process entails, such as possible duties, applicable taxes and labeling requirements of the Department of Transportation (DOT) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Often, these individuals aren’t aware of the paperwork needed or if the vehicle in question is allowed in the country – not to mention the plating requirements in the state where they live. All these details are best left to qualified customs brokers.

Where RBI comes into play

RBI works quietly behind the scenes to help transportation businesses with the customs clearance of imported equipment. Always one step ahead, RBI provides timely advice to help its clients steer clear of any unforeseen problems or costly delays.
