The ease of import from Canada to the US has a lot to do with where the car was manufactured. Also, the guys at TFX in Toronto handle brokerage logistics for cars in Canada coming into the US on a regular basis.

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.

Good news...I should have waited 4 more years so mine would be 25! The compliance issues have nothing to do with where the car is built, just which market it was built to comply with. However, as you stated, the 25 year rule makes everything good! I guess I am getting really old...I was thinking that a 1986 was a fairly modern car! Sorry about that...

I just got off the telephone with my broker (Pacific Customs Brokers) in Blaine, Washington to see if anything has changed. Nothing has. They verified what I stated above is correct. The purchaser must pay a filing fee (brokerage) and a small bond fee prior to entry. Since the Monte Carlo is a US built vehicle and is older than 25 years of age, it does NOT require any of the compliance standards you mention above (including the letter of compliance, odometer/speedometer, etc.). There is also no duty or sales tax at the border.

Also, Pacific Customs Brokers stated if an American purchaser chooses, they can import the Monte Carlo in person. No brokerage fee. Just forms to fill out.
The above is correct. I purchased a '70 TA from Kamloops several years ago. I towed the car through the Sumash border crossing. Saved me the five hundred dollars broker fee.
