I'm considering it as an option, but want to try and cover all the bases before I make a final descision. I've been doing whatever research I can and it appears that the following would be required.

Phone the border crossing 72 hours in advance to let them know you'll be coming through. Ensure that you'll be passing through during regular bussiness hours.

You'll have to pay 7% GST on the vehichle, and it looks like an additional 6.1% duty if the vehichle was not manufactured in the USA plus any provincial sales tax (thanks oil for a 0% provincial tax )

Also have to pay a federal inspection fee of around $180 to see if it conforms to transport Canada's regulations (ie day time running lamps, and metric instrumetation for vehichles 15 years or newer). Than pay your out of province inspection fee as well.

Anyone else done this? What did I miss, and how was the process overall?
