Due to differences in pricing, you may find it beneficial to import a new car from overseas instead of buying one domestically. Although importing a Ford Fiesta Diesel is little different from importing any car into the United States, care should be taken when abiding by import and export rules. Therefore, hiring the services of a registered importer will free you from any necessary bureaucratic paperwork and procedures, and will make your experience of buying a car from overseas relatively hassle free.

Check to see if the Ford Fiesta Diesel is on the list of vehicles that are eligible for import. A list of such vehicles is published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (see References). As of September 2010, the Ford Fiesta Diesel is eligible, however conditions may change.
2Obtain the services of a registered importer for your vehicle. A registered importer will arrange for shipment, carry out all necessary paperwork, inspections, pay customs tax (currently 2.5 percent of the present value of the car), and will carry out any modifications necessary for your vehicle to make it road legal. You will purchase your car through the importer, who will have all the necessary contacts for Ford Fiesta dealers overseas.
3Pay for the vehicle and arrange for shipment to your home. The importer can either transport the vehicle to its offices for you to pick up or arrange transportation to your residence for an extra fee. The price of the vehicle and all services conducted by the registered importer will be invoiced to you as one payment.
