Since I could not find any info on this, even in the archives, i thought i would share what i have found out:

I have been doing alot of research trying to find out all information about importing a car from canada to the states. I will list below what i have found out so far and what i need

Registering the car in my state (kansas) is normal as long as you have the customs papers in order. There is a $10 inspection fee that is charged for all out of state vehicles which is required.

For Customs: You need a bill of sale and one of the following.
A) US DOT sticker which can be found in door jam or on the underneath side of hood. NOT the Canada DOT sticker.

B) A letter from Acura verifying that the car is US DOT complient.

The only fee that has to be paid is a 2.5 % Duty fee since the car was not manufactured in Canada. This comes from the purchase price on your Bill of sale.

My only Question is which DOT sticker is on the Canadian R?
Does it say US DOT, or is it Canada DOT? Everyone told me that the DOT requirements are the same for the car in Canada and the US, but customs only cares about the sticker. They told me that they do not have a list of allowed cars, they just look at the sticker for approval.


thanks guys (preferebly Canadian R owners)
A pic to make me feel better would be great
