The following is from the RIV website.
U.S. Census and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) require notification a minimum of 72 hours notice prior to export of all self-propelled vehicles being permanently exported from the United States.
Note: trailers or temporary exports are exempt from these requirements.
CBP regulations state that at border points:
1. You will be need a U.S. Census ITN number which you can obtain using a U.S. AES authorized agent, freight forwarder or customs broker to electronically file your export information
2.72 hours prior to exporting your vehicle, you must provide CBP at the port of exit:•Proof of ownership
•U.S. Census ITN number
3.The vehicle must be presented to U.S. Customs at the time of export.
CBP recommends that you contact the customs office where you plan to cross, directly, to verify the documentation required and their hours of operation.
Stopping at US customs and faxing documents is not optional. In the last 3 or 4 years both Canada and the US have adopted rules concerning electronic data reporting when importing. Casual imports like a TV are exempt. Motor vehicles must have the electronic transfer of data. The US will impose huge fines for those who show up without proper paperwork filed. Read my 2 links. What one person experienced 9 years ago is ancient history. Any customs broker can handle that paperwork.
