J.M.C.

Okay, I'd like to share my experience. This might help someone in the same boat as me. So, as you can see in my last post, Honda said in the letter that I have TPMS and Anti-theft Device but they couldn't confirm if those meet US standards and I need to update those systems. Upon finding this thread, I ordered one TPMS system and one anti theft alarm from Amazon. Went to discount tire to get the TPMS installed (surprisingly they didn't charge me anything) and asked another non-brand shop to install the alarm. Got invoices for both and went to the CBP office in Denver. The officer first asked for the Honda letter and after looking at it he said I needed to update the systems. I showed him the invoices, he went inside and grabbed another officer. The officer told me I needed original parts and the work had to be done by Honda dealer. The officer was understanding. He told me that he was surprised to see such a letter where it said I have those systems but couldn't be confirmed for US standards. Then he gave me a friendly advice, he told me to go to any Honda dealer and get something in writing mentioning that the TPMS and Anti Theft Device that are originally installed meet US standards. So, I left the office, google for nearest Honda dealer and went there. I told the lady at the service desk that I need to register my vehicle and I need something in writing that shows my TPMS and Anti Theft Device meet the US standards. The lady was super nice and gave me an work order like document where she simply wrote that the TPMS and Anti Theft Device meet the US standards. I took the letter to the CBP office on the same day, found the same officer, he gave me a form to fill out, and boom, I got the import paper I needed. I lost so many nights of sleeps over this, and I guess at the end I was lucky. 

This is such a useful thread. I am on the same boat as everyone where. I have already moved to USA (Colorado) from Canada. I have a 2013 Honda Odyssey. I'll try with the after market TPMS installation, although OEM is required. Was anyone asked about the Anti Theft Device system? My letter says the Anti Theft Device is not compliant. Here is my letter from Honda:
