In Canada, it's a requirement on all vehicles (and has been since the 90's). In the USA, for example, not all states require them.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the clarification. I had not found that information when looking for my "Z". Could explain why I didn't have any problems importing it since it was already in service.

For all others looking at importing a vehicle, here's a couple web sites I used:
