[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 57982, member: 307"] Chuckwood I have done this b4. Anything self propelled leaving the US must have the serial # searched by US customs for liens b4 it can leave the country. You need to have a purchase agreement with the vendor before the customs will search it. It Takes up to 72 hrs before they have to tell you that its admissable or not. I like to have this done before I pay for the machine. Because if it has a lien on it you are not going any farther. I like to get a written agreement from the vendor, with serial number, price and date, you also have to submit this to US customs with your ID 72 hours before you go. Usually customs is ok with this approach, but I have had some tell me the results of the search when I go into the US to pick the machine up (so I know its ok to pay for it), and other officers that say the search is not for my info and they don't want to fess up the results. If it has been cleared , then you can pay the vendor and bring the item to US Customs, they will check the serial # is correct with your papers you faxed in and stamp it. At canada customs they will collect the gst only, if you are a business, But if your a business you have to have a broker do the paperwork for you. Or you can do a B3 entry yourself if you know how. If you not a business, they will collect the gst and pst (unless your in Alberta, then gst only, or hst) and do the paper work for you. Attachment or anything not self propelled does not go through this process. Ken [/QUOTE]
