Re: Title question washington and bill of sale

I've gone the other direction (Canada to US) with vehicles twice. On the 1969, I had to get a letter from GM stating that, at the time of manufacture, the vehicle met all applicable US safety and emissions standards. Newer vehicles may have a placard to that effect, but the old ones do not.

I ran into issues because I was importing a Pontiac Laurentian which doesn't exist in the US, and that confused the State Patrol to no end - no really, is it a Catalina? A GTO? No, it's none of those... but not an issue you'll face on the truck.

Go through GOM's links and make sure all your ducks are in a row, or you'll be marching them back home. Customs has no sense of humor.

A Canadian entering Canada in a US car can only do it with a valid US work visa (ask me how I know!) or they'll ask you to pay GST, PST, and duty on the vehicle. This is even true of a RENTAL vehicle, much less a purchased one. So you can't just not tell them, for example, as it'd be a failure to declare.
