I used a Registered Importer, he prepared the "sticker", and verified the VIN. I had placed the sticker in the glovebox and took the rest of the import papers in with me, the agent said without the sticker the cruiser would be denied entry. It is not just EPA paperwork, or verifying the VIN, the Registered importer verifies the eligibility for import.I spent hours with him verifying that a BJ42 was essentially a FJ40 with a diesel motor. The key was that the import standards are the same for Canada and US, as far as lighting and glass requirements, in fact Toyota specifies only North American and California spec vehicles, as Porsche might also. Not trying to be difficult, but for every one who breezed through the border there are many who are left holding a bag of flaming poo, thanks to CBP.
Good luck and let us know how it works out!
