Yes, you can bring a Chinese car to the U.S., but it's extremely difficult and costly for regular use because it must meet strict U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, often requiring expensive modifications or waiting 25 years for an exemption, plus massive tariffs on Chinese EVs. The process involves complex certification, potential modifications (like charging ports, mirrors, safety features), and high costs, making it impractical for most individuals unless done by a registered importer for high-end vehicles.
