bringing car into US

[KiminON 0]

a thread on another part of here got me to thinking. has anyone driven their car to the US from Canada as you want to keep it?

i'm planning on doing so (have dogs to bring with me) and i want to keep my little car (just bought it!). any ideas what i need to do, if anything? not really finding much out there when i googled it.

thanks

If i recall correctly, you need to contact the manufacturer in the US, and ask them if it meets the safety requirements for that car year. I wanted to take my car over here, but unfortunately it didn't meet the requirements.. Which sucked becuase i really loved that car.. the ironic part is that now i'm driving a car that's much less safe than the one i had in Canada...

Hey, I found the link that explains importing your vehicle.. dunno if you found it at the Canada forums but here it is..

You'll need paperwork for your car AND your dogs -- they will not allow pets across the border without proper documentation (vaccinations, etc).
