Unless you enter the RIV program at the border the vehicle will be refused entry
that's the law as it stands
The way to get that done is thru a LLC.
The Corp owns the coach. the driver doesn't.
It will cross the border just like any other rental.
Tom/Barb: I wondered about that as you see UHaul vehicles registered in Nevada here all the time. It turns that they have a special arrangement where the rental outfit reports the mileage monthly along with a cheque covering a proportional share of taxes to each jurisdiction having miles run on their whole fleet. (similar to the way commercial fleets operating in several states or provinces report their mileage and submit fuel taxes monthly. In those cases it's treated as a vehicle that came in through the RIV program. This started as an offshoot of the temporary import rules which I've done in both directions for an employer that had plants on both sides of the border. But the paper burden was outrageous and I'm sure after one month's filings from a rental fleet homeland security and CBPA were crying 'uncle'. The same deal isn't offered to private citizens.
