It is not a criminal offence if you do it correctly.

If this is the old "import into Canada, then into the USA as a Canadian
vehicle", IT IS NOT LEGAL!  As a matter of fact, it is a Federal criminal
offence.

Just a warning, as I researched this thoroughly last year.

Cheers,

Jeff

Explain?

 if it's importing vehicles legally, it's alot of
legwork. I know of a way to get vehicles in the US,
and technically it is legal, just a "grey" area. Helps
to have friends in Canada, and a knowledge of Customs
is a plus.

don't ask..
