Importing a Toyota Supra MK4 (A80) to the USA in 2026
US-market A80 Supras exist, but JDM twin-turbo cars are cheaper abroad and now freely importable.
The MK4 Supra is old enough to clear the 25-year rule outright, so a Japan-spec 2JZ-GTE car can be landed without conformity work.
Watch the difference between a genuine twin-turbo RZ and a naturally aspirated SZ — it swings the purchase price by tens of thousands.

Compliance & the fine print
Because US-spec A80s were sold here, a federalised US car avoids import entirely; the import route only makes sense for desirable JDM-spec or right-hand-drive examples.
