Importing into the USA: what to plan for

General points our US buyers plan for. Your customs broker will confirm what applies to your machine.

EPA engine requirements

Non-road diesel engines imported into the US must be EPA-certified or qualify for an exemption, declared to US Customs at entry. Confirm the engine's status with your broker before you buy, and ask us for the engine plate photos.

Clean on arrival

USDA inspects used machinery for soil and plant material. Machines should arrive clean; ask us to prepare it with this in mind.

Customs entry

Most buyers use a licensed customs broker to file the entry, pay any duty and arrange delivery from the port.

Common destination ports

We regularly quote CIF to these ports. Ask about any other port; we can usually book it.

Los Angeles / Long Beach
Tacoma / Seattle
Houston
Baltimore

Frequently asked questions

Are the prices on the listings FOB or delivered?

Listing prices are FOB Japan: the machine loaded at the Japanese port. Tell us your port and we'll quote CIF, including sea freight and marine insurance. Import duty, taxes and local delivery are not included.

Yes. Ask in your enquiry and we'll send extra photos or a walk-around video of the machine before you commit.

No. It's general guidance based on what our buyers usually deal with. Import rules change, so always confirm the requirements for your machine with your customs broker or the relevant authority before you buy.
