Can I own one here
Owning one in Carroll County.
On your own land
On land its owner owns or leases a kei truck needs no OHRV registration, and a truck used only for work is not an OHRV.
A 25 year truck on the road
Road use unclear, to confirm. New Hampshire law does not name kei trucks. Its title rule for a used vehicle bought abroad asks for import papers such as the HS-7, and neither statute nor rule says how a 25 year exemption is read, so the DMV's Title Bureau decides truck by truck.
A newer governed truck
Utility terrain vehicle. New Hampshire does not title OHRVs.

Importing a kei truck
The essentials, in short.
A truck under 25 can come in only as governed off road equipment, and only if its engine family held an EPA nonroad certificate for that model year. No kei engine family was certified for mini trucks before model year 2010, so a truck built after 31 October 2001 and before model year 2010 has no federal door until its 25th birthday.
Two lanes
A road truck must be 25 years old by its own build date. A newer truck comes in only as governed off road equipment with a certified engine.
The 25 percent duty
Every kei truck pays the 25 percent truck duty at the port, whatever its age.
The paperwork
The customs entry and the two federal declarations, DOT Form HS-7 and EPA Form 3520-1, travel with the truck to your title office.
The title
Keep every stamped paper with the truck. Your state title office asks to see them.
