this really depends on where you're importing to, trying to import to California is complicated
when we crossed the Vancouver border the officer said the Kia letter wasn't sufficient since it didn't have US safety standards on it, we tried to import to California and though it worked until they later notified us that the paperwork wasn't right for the same reason
speaking to people that handle this from the list above I get different answers, some say TPMS is critical, some don't mention it
I'm told I can get a 'letter of conformity' for $900, going to do this and hope it works. Otherwise I don't think we have any choice but to drive it back to Vancouver to sell, a big hassle for sure.
How did that work out for you? I have the same trouble: Kia Soul 2014 fully loaded bought new in Calgary and importing to California. California DMV won't accept the letter from Kia Canada because it states only Canadian compliance and not US.
Thank you for your help and for posting here. Once resolved I will post a full rundown of my solution so that others can benefit.
