Importing a 2019 Ram 1500 5th Gen to USA

[Islandflyer]

Probably not a common question! I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel I bought new from dealer in the Bahamas. It has the made in the USA NHTSA sticker (see photo). Other than customs paperwork, this shouldn't be a problem to import? Are there any taxes if originally manufactured in the USA?

We are relocating to the states and with the price of vehicles, I'd rather just bring mine than try to sell here and buy there.

No major modifications, just a lift kit, amp/speakers, tonneau cover, etc.

Any suggestions with temporary tags, insurance, etc, would be helpful too!

Thanks for any input!

Look under the hood for an emissions decal. See if it complies with US EPA standards. If it doesn't, then it has to go to some kind of bonded shop that can install what it takes to make it legal. Search "Grey-market Vehicle."

Awesome thanks, got one of those. I did switch to a flowmaster muffler (have the original still), would that be an issue?

Shouldn't be. Unless they test for noise levels wherever you're going.
