The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk importing a truck from Canada to USA

Any one ever tryed that? I hear it should be easy for a USA citizen, the other way around would interest me too. I have heard that that's a crime, with lots of red-tape.
So try try to scare me with your horor stories of 14 hours at the border

I think so long as you call them ahead of time and provide the proper/required documentation prior to showing up at the border, its no problem.

I've never done it myself, but i've sold several vehicles to Canadians.. many had no more documentation than a hand written bill of sale, and right thru the border they went.

Might be different if you're hauling brand new Farraris or BMW's or something.. but old cars & trucks (30+ year old ones, anyway) don't seem to be much of a problem at all.. at least not going UP anyway.

Coming from Canada down might be more of a hassle.

Bring vehicles into Canada that are 15 years or older is no problem just need a bill of sale. Call ahead to the customs Before you show up to make sure you have all the proper ducoments. I've done about half a dozen and it was no problem for me.
