Exclamation US Spec vs California Spec

I am looking up part numbers for my car and I keep coming up with:

Emission: KA - US Market Spec
Emission: KL - California Spec

What is the difference and how do I tell what I need?

I have a 1999 Honda Civic HX 2 door coupe

Re: US Spec vs California Spec

Are you in California?
Does your emissions sticker state it complies with California requirements (or something to that effect)?

You can look up the parts you need, but do it for both versions. See if there is a difference in the part numbers.

Or just enter your VIN, let the program decide what your car is.

Just popped the VIN in and its US spec.... No, I'm actually in the UK and purchased my car in Arizona.
