2016 CX-3
I am wondering if anyone has had experience shipping their Mazda CX-3 (NA version) to Europe? I am primarily concerned about the safeties and emission testing required. I am planning on bringing a 2016 model CX-3.
With my research I have found they require two inspections:
This is the one I am most confused with, as I am unable to accurately find a conversion for the NA standard and EU standard.
I was able to find:
Vehicle’s general traffic safety and compliance test (HU)
HU is a vehicle mechanical and electrical performance test. If a mechanical or electrical flaw is discovered during the inspection, the owner is given a 4-week deadline to repair the problem. After passing the test, the automobile receives a new HU sticker valid for two years.
It does seem reasonable to pass for a stock CX-3: https://www.tuvsud.com/de-de/-/media/de/auto-service/pdf/10000561-_-checkliste-hu.pdf
I will update with my progress/experience once I am there.

I was able to find:
- Measurement at increased idling speed: The lambda value must be between 0.97 and 1.03. The carbon monoxide content shall not exceed 0.3%. For vehicles according to the Euro 4 standard, a limit of 0.2 % applies.
- Measurement at idling speed: The carbon monoxide content must not exceed 0.5%. For vehicles according to the Euro 4 standard, a limit of 0.3 % applies.
