Why is it a 'real pain' to get them in from Canada? Two of our vans came the
other way ie from the US, one before you needed Export Certificates and one

and  I needed a Provincial Inspection on the more recent one, but it wasn't
expensive or time consuming. What are the requirements going the other way
Tom.
