Hi Chris,

Start by checking to see if the van meets FMVSS and EPA stats for that year
- look for an EPA/DOT sticker either on the "A" pillar or the engine
compartment.

Then go read:

http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/Can0206.html

for the rest of the details.

If the Van needs a "Certificate of Conformance", call VW and tell them that
you are moving to the USA and want to take the van with you. For some silly
reason, I have heard that they will not issue a certificate on behalf of
somebody looking to purchase that lives in the USA.
