Don't mean to hijack the thread, but there's
- wiring money to Canada (the bank's employees didn't know how to do it, I had to tell them how after researching the internet)
- cross-Canada rail shipping (an adventure in itself) and truck transport from border to PA
- border crossing paperwork (which the transposrt company assured us would be all taken care of - bzzzt! thanks for playing)
- application for local title (requires Customs and EPA exemption forms) that the state lost
- temporary tags (not supposed to be issued until Customs/EPA forms are in, but we had a very helpful tag lady)
The main problem was that the shipper was supposed to handle all the Customs paperwork, but totally dropped the ball. I had to visit the local Customs office in Philadelphia and get chewed out because of procedures the transporter didn't follow.
The two relevant forms were HS-7 (NHTSA safety exemption) and EPA 3520-1 (EPA import declaration form)
Then the driver got lost, we went to meet him a a truck stop in Maryland because he couldn't drive anymore that day, the battery was dead, the dipstck tube fell out of the engine while we were trying to jumpstart (don't ask), and it's awfully hard to get a big block Cuda with headers and a "borrowed" license plate from your other car home inconspicuously on a Saturday night (some kid in a 5.0 Mustang wanted to race me)
But getting a car out of Canada is easier than trying to send a bottle of scotch to someone *in* Canada, but that's another story for another day.
