Importing a GT-4...In 2009... ?, 15 year law... Options

[Legit94GT]

So 2009 marks 15 years after 1994(i know i am good at math )
With that said i know that there is a 15 year law in regards to importing cars, and something along the lines like after 15 years you can import cars with out having to get them crash tested for saftey standards. But i have searched this forum and the web and am having a hard time finding EXACTLY how the law is writen, and what it entails, even on the US Customs site:/ Most sites are vauge and not really informative:(

Does anybody know? or have a link to a website with the proper information?

Much thanks to those who help:)

According to the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration it's 25 years as found in the "Vehicle Importation Guidelines (non-Canadian)" link found on the NHTSA site here: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/CARS/RULES/IMPORT/

As a general rule, a motor vehicle less than 25 years old must comply with all applicable Federal
motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) to be imported on a permanent basis
