Canadian companies

A possible solution to my "US Customs BS" is if I can haul the car to Windsor Canada and turn around and re-import it to the USA. Any one here from Canada know the routine for hauling a car into Canada? Will they let me in for a few moments?
thanks

this is what we usually use for all information in Canada in regards to importing U.S cars

If I understand you correctly, you wish to export a car to Canada then import it back to the U.S.A.
If that is the case, then the hardest part (believe it or not) will be getting your car out of the U.S. Don't act on what I say, but it goes something like this:
Title and bill of sale must be presented to the U.S. Customs at the border crossing you will be using three business days before you take the car across the border. This allows customs to check for stolen vehicles. Officially, the actual documents must be presented, but I have been told that you may fax them copies as long as you present the originals when you go in to have your paper work authorized.
This paper work will be needed to register the car in Canada. It will then become Canadian, EH. Then you can import it back to the U.S.
I'll take a wild assed guess that you are having registration problems, which would have to be cleared up to export the car.

Ignore this post and go with the one above LOL.

I dont need to register it in canada or the usa. I just need to get it out and re import it with the existing EPA and DOT permits I have. Then my new US Customs paperowrk will be good until I complete the repairs in a month or so, at which time the car will be exported back to europe.

The last 4 cars I've bought were in the US and imported into Canada.

Getting out of the US is easy. Simply put the car on a hauler and drive over the border. You do not deal with US Customs when you leave, you deal with Canadian customs.

You'll probably have trouble getting back in, though, as they'll have a record of the original importation. What you need to do is find a shop in Windsor willing to do "work" on the car for a couple of days and provide an invoice for that work. Then you have documentation to provide to Customs on the return.

There are a couple of numbers on the RIV site you should call and ask about getting work done in Canada.
