TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: Thank you for your letters of February 19, 1968, and April 1, 1968, to the National Highway Safety Bureau, regarding your wish to import a Nissen President passenger car which you state does not conform to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

A passenger car which does not conform to the Federal standards may enter the United States under one of the seven situations set forth in @ 12.80(b)(2) of the enclosed regulations. If it is impossible to conform the President either before or after entry, you could import a non-conforming example if it were manufactured before January 1, 1968, or if it were manufactured after that date and used solely as a static display.
