I think you misunderstood, you can import a vehicle into the US newer then twenty five years, it has to be certified that it meets all environmental regulations, that means having a certified mechanic sign forms saying it's up to standards. The reason it's easier to import a vehicle older than twenty five years is that vehicles older than twenty five years weren't built with all the mandated environmental equipment you have now days. What the person who was importing the vehicle in the video was trying to do was take a vehicle that wasn't a vintage vehicle and turn it into one for profit.
