possible, but...
... as so often in life, it is possible, but.... and that's quite a big BUT at that, for New Car
As you certainly know better than I do, the US of A has rather stringent regulation for car safety as well as exhaust emissions.
While new generation Alfas certainly meet the US exhaust emissions, or they can be adjusted to do so without much hassle, there is a bigger hurdle to be passed: The typification or homologation, which as far as I know requires a crash test among others. I know for sure that there are possibilities to
avoid the crash test, but first you need to find someone in the transport department to listen to you. In case you can find someone else in the US. who has previously imported that car
into the US. that would be a great help for sure for the typification.
Shipping the car and doing the Export/Import Papework, I agree with Andre, is easy.
For an old car, if over 25 years of age, it's much easier, also because older models of Alfas were sold in the U.S. so that
there is no hassle with the homologation and if not previously
homologated, then this procedure is much much easier than with a brand new one.
I hope I did not discourage you from buying a product of 'our'
favourite marque.
Ciao,
Joachim
