My dad was a customs officer for 20 some years, that's how it was done when he worked the border, but that was a long time ago. It's a shame, he had a bunch of tips for how to reduce its appraised value.
Yeah I'd put on steelies and run it on 3 cylinders across the border haha.

you also have to pay air tax...$100.

when i imported mine, they required the bill of sale (it was a new car), and copies of the bank drafts (i had to buy US dollars) as proof of purchase.

they gave me a teenie break b/c what the gov't exchange rate at the time was, was lower than what i paid to buy the US dollars a couple of months in advance...i saved like 300 bucks in duty/taxes.
