car imports

Overseas automobile arrivals

Car imports are vehicles manufactured in one country and brought into another for sale.

The term covers both the vehicles themselves and the practice of importing them: Japanese car imports dominated the American market in the 1980s.

Import regulations, tariffs, and safety standards vary by country, making some vehicles difficult or illegal to bring in.
