FAQ
Questions, answered
The basics on how VIN2 works and why it's neutral.
Is VIN2 a registered importer?
No — VIN2 is independent and neutral. We connect you with NHTSA-registered importers and never rank or favor them.
What does it cost to get matched?
Matching is free and anonymous. You only engage an importer once you choose one.
Which vehicles can I import?
Most vehicles bound for U.S. roads — cars, MPVs, trucks, motorcycles and trailers — from Canada, Japan, the EU and beyond. Eligibility depends on the specific vehicle and route.
How does the compliance process work?
Your registered importer handles customs, DOT & NHTSA conformity, and bond release. VIN2 keeps the labels, data and status in one place so nothing gets lost.
Do dealers and sellers need an account?
No. Sellers just open a link and snap each label on their phone — no signup, no forms.
