It's supposed to be an easy process but it basically boils down to who is working that time. I assure you I had all the proper paperwork, double checked and tripled checked everything. Communication was NOT the problem. Problems I had were attitude related on U.S. side and complete ignorance on...

Get an American Honda dealership to write you a letter on their letterhead stating that all recalls (if any) were performed.

Well, I got to the Canadian side about 11:30am on Sunday morning. I was completely shocked at how they treated me on the US side, like I was a piece of garbage. Wish I had a hidden camera or recording device to replay to others.

They told me the title of the bike had to be in MY name before I crossed. This all happened at the Detroit/Windsor crossing. I did EVERYTHING I was supposed to do, only to be met with really ignorant people that obviously didn't know their job and had a pretty bad attitude for no good reason...

Well I brought the bike back on Sunday and had a nightmare experience at the border. I made sure I did everything I was supposed to. EVERYTHING! I double checked, triple checked, etc, etc. Faxed documents to US customs 72hrs in advanced, kept fax transmittal sheet. Copied all steps from RIV site...

Okay, faxed all the information to US customs at Detroit this morning and kept fax confimation slip. Going to bring the bike back Sunday, fingers crossed everything goes smoothly.

Okay, I have read every single page on this thread and it did get a bit confusing at times with different information. Especially with dealing with US custom side. Here is my situation, I have purchased a used 2007 Yamaha R1 from Iowa. Can I get away from the giving US custom side 72hr notice...

I like how the dealers are crying the blues about cross border shopping now. They sure didn't seem to mind selling all their bikes and sleds to the Americans when the dollar situation was much different for all those years. How do you think the US dealers felt then? What goes around, comes around.

I believe you don't have to pay state tax in Ohio as well.
