Subject:      Importing van from Canada to US (Victoria BC to Seattle) ?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes

Hello,

first post here :-) I'm currently a Eurovan Weekender owner who's looking to get into the Vanagon world (Syncro most specifically). I've been soaking/reading all the e-mails here for a month or so, learnign as much as I can.

I'm currently looking at a very nice (read, nice price) Syncro Westy in Canada, and would like to know if anybody has any experience/tips/ recommendations on how to import it to the US (paperwork, process, etc).

Is this something feasible, or should I forget completely about it (am I asking for lots of trouble ?). Should I do it on my own or see if an importing company could do it easier ?

Reason I'm looking for a Westy Syncro: my idea would be eventually to do a Zetec conversion and prepare it for an Alaska trip in the medium future (couple of years).

Thanks in advance,

Hugo
