"Here's the scoop, there should be no duties"

Perhaps there is a new customs regulation but in May of 2010 I imported a previously US owned 1973 911T from Regina, SK at a lonely Montana crossing point in the NE Montana corner. The customs people poured over the previous owner info, although there was obviously no California title. From the engine number and VIN they were able to determine that the 911 was indeed a US model and accepted the voluminous repair records as "proof" it lived in CA. Several hours later I wrote them a check for $385 duty!
(During this time an 18-wheeler rolled into the checkpoint and out popped a guy with a full-length black beard and a turban and some sort of smock you see men wear in the middle-East. My wife and I lived there for a year and a half and were shocked. The customs agents waived him on into the US - I'm not kidding!!!)
So, I don't know what to suggest other than that you get as much history as possible, a valid Canadian title, properly executed - they are much like ours. Take a copy of the regs that Tonger references and GOOD LUCK!!
