I have a quick question. Would you be willing to bring your truck to the American side of the border at the crossing where I could pick it up there and transport it to my home? Would you also be willing to help with the paperwork needed to take it across the border? I have absolutely no experience or expertise with that.\u201d\r\n\r\nYes, I am willing and able ( and so is this truck!) to bring the truck to the US BORDER at the 1000 islands border crossing near Alexandria Bay, NY. Which is about 1 hour distance from the truck\u2019s current home. I cannot however export the truck to you. I.e. I cannot physically drive it across the border\u2014 you Must do that as you are required to import it. May seem like mincing words but nonetheless important to the US border folks. I can however meet you at the US border parking lot with the truck and we can process the paperwork together with them right there and you then drive it away.\r\nIf you cannot be available to meet me there at the border crossing personally then you can arrange with a Border Broker company out of Alexandria Bay to represent you and to complete the minimal paper work for you which they can then provide to me to allow me to get the truck across the border on your behalf. Doing it personally is best ,easiest and cheapest. I have done this before. It is quite strait forward, takes less than an hour. I am not sure of the current fee but it is minimal to do the import. You will have to pay your local state tax as you would with any vehicle you purchase for titling it in your home state when you get it home.\r\n\r\nThe attached article described in photo # 67 of the gallery explains the entire process .\r\nHagerty.com/articles-videos/articles/2018/02/07/how-to-import-a-car-from-Canada-to-the-us", "likes": 3, "timestamp": 1537905835, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 2550888, "authorName": "Hersefan", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/hersefan/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Uh-oh.\n\nThis is a beauty.
