Export Compliance

Know Before
You Ship.
Not After.

Check any VIN against destination-country import rules before you buy or load. Age limits, emissions standards, drive configuration, sanctions flags โ€” pass or fail, with a plain explanation.

The Problem

A rejected shipment costs more than the vehicle.

Export regulations change constantly โ€” age limits, emissions tiers, drive-side restrictions, and sanctioned country designations that can turn a legal shipment into a compliance violation overnight. Most exporters rely on manual lookups or institutional knowledge from someone who might be wrong.

By the time a container is rejected at port, you've already paid for the vehicle, logistics, and documentation. DriveIntel flags compliance issues before you buy โ€” when the only cost is a pass on the deal.

How It Works

VIN in. Country rules checked. Decision out.

01
Enter VIN + Target Countries

Input the VIN and select one or multiple destination countries. DriveIntel pulls the vehicle's age, specification data, emissions profile, and drive configuration automatically from the VIN.

02
Rules Engine Checks Every Requirement

Our compliance engine runs the vehicle against country-specific age limits, emissions standards (Euro 4/5/6 equivalents), left/right-hand drive rules, sanctioned country flags, and OFAC checks โ€” simultaneously.

Checking: Age limit ยท Emissions ยท Drive side ยท OFAC ยท Sanctions
03
Pass / Fail Per Country

Each destination gets a clear Pass, Review, or Fail status with a plain-language explanation of the specific rule that triggered it. No regulatory code-hunting required.

PASS ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง United Kingdom
FAIL ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต Japan โ€” LHD not permitted
Key Benefits

Buy right. Ship once. Arrive cleared.

Check Before You Buy

Run compliance on any vehicle at the auction or wholesale stage โ€” before the purchase is committed. A failed check at bid time costs nothing. At port, it costs everything.

Multi-Country in One Check

Running multiple destination options on a single VIN is instant. Exporters who source for multiple markets can evaluate a vehicle against all destinations simultaneously instead of checking each one manually.

Sanctions & OFAC Built In

Every export check automatically cross-references destination countries against OFAC sanctions lists and US export restriction databases โ€” so you're not relying on a separate manual lookup to catch a regulatory tripwire.

Rules Updated Weekly

Export regulations shift constantly. DriveIntel's compliance rules are updated weekly across all 40+ supported countries โ€” so you're always working off current requirements, not a spreadsheet someone made two years ago.

Who It's For

Built for anyone moving vehicles across borders.

For Exporters
Vehicle Export Operations

Screen your entire acquisition list against destination countries before a single dollar is committed. Stop buying vehicles that can't legally enter your target markets.

For Dealers
Dealers With Export Customers

If you sell to buyers who export, verify compliance before the deal closes โ€” not after the unit is already out of your inventory and headed for a container.

For Compliance Teams
Logistics & Regulatory Staff

Replace manual regulatory lookups with a consistent, auditable system. Every compliance check is timestamped and exportable for your documentation trail.
