Is there any reason for concern about radioactivity in imported Japanese cars?

Were those new cars or used cars?

Is there any regular check on radiation of the new cars made in Japan?

Most of new luxury Lexus/Acura cars are 100% made in Japan. Do US customs screen the radioactivity in those imported cars?

Does BRAWM team know any related information?

Russian customs officials say they have seized roughly 300 contaminated cars

Russian customs officials say they have seized roughly 300 contaminated cars at entry points like the city of Vladivostok. Russia did begin heavily monitoring everything from food to automobiles for any signs of radioactive contamination. Since beginning inspections, Russian customs officials say they have checked 500,000 shipments, 908 ships, 473 aircrafts, and over 42,000 people who have come from Japan to enter Russia.

A little over a week ago, Japan’s vice-minister for foreign affairs was at the summit for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Cambodia. There he requested that the other nations present relax, or at least review, their limitations on the imports of Japan’s agricultural products, saying that there had been numerous scientific tests completed that show its items are contaminated with radiation. Later this summer, Russia’s consumer rights organization says it will conduct its own scientific research with the Russian Geographical Society to evaluate the safety of fish caught off of Japan’s coasts.

Note: The 2nd paragraph appears to have a typo or translational error. It is unlikely that Japan Inc. would deliberately state that: “numerous scientific tests completed that show its items are contaminated”.

The sentence is true, but likely unintended.
