It's not illegal if you import it legally. :-)

 From Canada, it's not that hard to import a vehicle younger than 25
yrs old because the models were so similar to the USA versions.
However, it depends on the compliance letter you get from VW and
there are listed exceptions that restrict certain models and model
years.

This was my experience importing a 78 bus about 4 years ago:
