First you don't need a broker to do everything. There's a few of them who will just do the new online requirement for $150. I forget the name of it but the new requirement actually has more to do with the US & IRS keeping track of money than us. It was easier before this came into affect of course.

The 72 hour wait has always been in affect and you can only bring it across between 8-4:30pm as the US guys need to inspect the VIN tag to make sure it matches with the paper work you submitted 72 hrs prior. I typically trailer the cars so no insurance or I drive them if the PO has current insurance on them still.

Proper paperwork includes signed Bill of Sale, signed Title, printout of where you found the vehicle just incase CBS asks for it. The US guys don't need it. Only exporting to the US requires the NAFTA paperwork from the manufacturer, not Canada.

After the US guys approve the paperwork & vehicle, you go into the BC side and pay tax and they stamp out a few forms. From there go to a Canadian Tire or any shop that does inspections. Remember the vehicle must be rust free and in perfect operational condition to pass the vehicle inspection. If not, then you need to do all the repairs first and then get it inspected unless you know a shop who will pass anything. CV has been cutting down on those shops though.

It's a simple process but with our exchange the truck has to be dirt cheap to make it worth while. I've imported and sold tons from WA to here, but lately stopped due to exchange. I see a few jokers locally doing it and asking way too much for these trucks lol Usually better off looking over all of BC for one unless you got a killer dealer. And make sure it's actually a deal and not based on BJ pricing lol
