export tender_square the border doesn't allow you to announce an export to a customs agent. no, you have to go online and create some kind of business exporter account, even as an individual. the us government needs 72 hours from notification of export to actual export of the goods at the international border crossing. it's been two days and i can't even generate an exporter account through the system to start that clock. i'm stuck in the states. the last time i crossed into canada with my vehicle, customs threatened to turn me around because it wasn't legal for me to be in the country possessing a car that has not been declared for import. the exporter account system requires that all exporters have an employee identification number through the irs, which i didn't possess until this morning. i tried creating an account two more times to only receive notifications of rejection. countless phone calls later and i'm told "the system is corrupted." it takes 24-hours to generate a login even if i'm accepted. 230515 ... tender_square i had to hire a company that specializes in automotive exports out of new york. typically, they help folks selling classic cars though they help with border moves too. my personal exporter account i've been attempting to set up for three days remains inactivated. the company i hired got me the transaction number i needed and notified the border of my crossing in two hours. i wish i had hired them sooner. now, the only snag is will the states refuse me entry next week if the car's registration has not been changed to canada immediately following import? it's a holiday next monday and i will have to visit service ontario friday to change my license, register my car and get an ontario plate all in one visit. 230516 what's it to you? who go blather from
