Just went through the "import a Canadian car to the US" routine this morning with TFX. You need an EPA compliance sticker on the car or a letter from the manufacturer stating that it complies with US emissions regulations. Also need a letter of compliance from the Manufacturer that it meets FMVSS if the sticker on the car states CMVSS compliance (Canada's version). It can be allowed entry into the US with an odometer in kms, but in it has to be switched out for an odometer in miles. I honestly didn't believe this until I was informed of this regulation by US Customs. I will say that I know some people who have not done this and were still able to register the car. Other than that, it is an easy process. My particular car was German originally and it also required duty of 2.85% to bring it into the US. I think North American cars are exempt from this.
