NHTSA Proposes Increases to Vehicle Importer Fees

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is proposing increases of its fees for importer registration and the importation of motor vehicles. The agency’s proposed rule would raise fees for registered importers, vehicles imported under eligibility petitions and bond/cash deposit processing. It would decrease some fees for review and processing of conformity certificates. The fees were last changed in 2012. If finalized, the new fees would take effect with the beginning of the new fiscal year on Oct. 1, 2014.
