Going after a W-4 that I just bought in Canada. I haven't done this before and am not sure what to expect when I come back across the border.

I've been told that all I need is a bill of sale and I will be good to go. That seems to be just to easy.

My trailer is NOT licensed because it is not required here in Kansas. Will this cause me a problem?????

All of you that have done this before I would really like to hear from you about this.

Thanks in Advance

BIG JOHN

why are you posting a classified ad on this message board? that's a no-no - besides, what does it have to do with bringing a tractor to the US from Canada?

John: While I said earlier most jurisdictions honour home state or province rules and regulations, what they really want to know is the owner identity of every device that has rubber on their road, in case of accident. They don't want you being able to say to yourself this trailer is not worth the hassel and unhooking and leaving it at the sceen of accident. If there is a home state trailer licence you can buy, it does give you absolute proof. The Kansas plate on trailer may save you some roadside conversation with local county mounties.

Another item to watch for is having an add on fuel tank in pickup. Highway tractors have to log fuel and miles in each jurisdiction, to make sure each share the fuel tax according to use. A guy I know put a 100 gallon tank in front of F-350 pickup box, hitched his fifth wheel RV and set out to tour America. He was hasseled about this the entire trip across Canada and back through US. His advise was go with standard fuel tanks on pickup, then authorities know you must fuel up in every state or province.

I was in a meeting with a DOT officer onced we have local and beyond local on trucks then went you get them you have them put a F sticker on the local for farm tags good all over US if doing farm business, good all over th US if pulling a R V except in Minnesota, He said if you go into MN. pulling a R V you will leave wearing MN license plates.

John: I live about 30 miles from border and yes the Bill of Sale is all you need for the tractor. It was built in the US, came here duty free and it can go home duty free.

On the trailer most jurisdictions honour the rules of the home state or province. I would think you should have a document showing trailer is yours, like a bill of Sale when you bought it. You are going to be meeting Canadian Customs coming and US Customs on way home. Canadian Customs are going to ask where you are going and probably what for. On the way back US Customs are going to ask for proof of what you bought. You wouldn't want them thinking you bought trailer in Canada.

I think Customs just becomes more complicated when it is trucking for hire. I have done the trucking for hire. When it comes to you hauling on your vehicle, your purchases, it is no different than you buying trousers, a shirt, a shovel or tractor. If it isn't duty free, you pay, if it is duty free you go on your merry way.

Hi, since W-4 is used and was originally made in the U.S.A, should be no problems with U.S.Customs. Just make sure you have at least 2 or 3 pieces of id with photos on them and proof of U.S. citizenship to return to U.S. Canada Citizenship & Immigration may want to see proof of U.S. citizenship.

As far as the trailer goes, I don't know. Which province are you going to ? Ontario and Quebec have their own provinial police and the other provinces use the services of the RCMP. You could attempt to email the appropriate provincial police before departing.
