Which states are most friendly for JDM import registration?

Montana (no sales tax, minimal inspection requirements), Oregon (no sales tax, straightforward historic registration), and Vermont (title without a current title, useful for auction-imported cars) are consistently cited as JDM-friendly. Florida and Texas are popular for their large JDM communities and reasonable registration processes. Avoid California and a few northeastern states for rotary or modified vehicles until you've researched smog compliance specifically.
