Re: Customs Broker? What do they do?

So what all did you do? Fill us in!

I have my EPA form, my DOT form, my MSO (origin), and there's no duty on Canadian cars.

What else would I need to do it myself? Even if I don't this time, I'd like to educate myself.

Because of NAFTA and the fact that the truck was originally built in the US, it can come back across the border duty free. If you strike out on your internet search, PM me and I will dig out my documentation for you.
Mine was built in Canada but should be OK anyway, I think. It's old enough to be exempt for DOT and EPA but I have their forms filled out with the right "too old" exempt box checked.

So for the EPA I sent a 3520-1 and for the DOT I sent a completed HS-7.
