I'm sure safety is not an issue nowdays unlike it was in the eighties and nineties when the same models in the US had to be equipped with oversized bumpers, often seeming out of proportions. Now the safety is mostly structural, not the bumper padding itself and is manufactured identically for the developed world. There are models for the Third World which do not comply with any European or US laws, just to keep the costs down.

Emissions laws are a bit different but not too dissimilar: https://theicct.org/sites/default/files/ICCT_comparison Euro v US.pdf
