Re: Customs Broker? What do they do?

I drove up to Quebec with a Uhual pickup and a trailer. Came back over with a '69 C20 with a bill of sale. Hit the VT border at 2:30am. At first the border guy was a little cold, but after a few forms, everything was dialed in, and he switched over the gear head!

No issues, no import duty.

One thing that he said: If I had registered the vehicle in Vermont before bringing it across the border it would have been a big issue, as you can't register something that hasn't been imported. I'm not sure if this is true or not, but that is what he said.

I believe that Vermont and Quebec have some very interesting, long-standing import polices that allow vehicles to move over easily. Based on some research, it seems like a very easy way to bring in grey market cars, register them in VT, then move to other states.
