It's because pricing is often different on different sides of the border.
Where I live (near Detroit, MI) it's not terribly uncommon for people to
drive across to Windsor to buy cars.  There was a bit of a stink recently
when Ford declared they were no longer going to provide warranty service
for cars that had been brought across the border after purchase.
