Hi everyone :)

Yet another car import question ... I will be moving the 21st of July to Florida on my K1 visa ..

I will be importing my car into the U.S but I do have a question. My car is in KPH only and in the compliance letter that I got from Volvo USA, it states that I have to convert it into MPH (700$) .. Yet they did not know if I would be able to import it and then convert it to MPH. Also, at my interview, I even asked the interviewer if I would be able to import my car, and then convert it to MPH once in the U.S (MUCH cheaper), but unfortunately she did not know, she just said "I'm sure it is possible".

I am trying to find out if I would be able to do this, or if I have to get it converted absolutely before the move. Does anyone know if I can do that ? Or does anyone have a number to call just to make sure ?

Thanks :)

My car is in kph as well. I also live in FL. I didn't have to change it over and I have no idea why they stated that you do. Possibly a cash grab. Just ignore it. When you make the appointment to registar the vehicle you need to ensure that they write the odometer reading in km's and not miles. Check every document that you receive and sign, because they'll get it wrong.

Thanks a lot Krikit :)

First .. sorry for the confusion .. I will move on August 21st .. not July 21st .. lol too much going on these days I guess.

So concerning the car import .. basically I can show up at the border and import my car, even if it is in KPH and the letter state it has to be converted ?
