You silly Canadians.  Always assuming the rest of the world does it the same
as you guys... wait, that's us silly United Statesians!

Anyways... the USA has a 25 year rule (not 15).

Cheers,

Jeff

Dear van not America
Why I'n the world would it be a problem to import this vehicle to the USA.
It is more than 15 years old. I would think it is an exempt import into the
USA same as it would be if coming into Canada. I will check to see next time
I get to use computer.
