    Bring back a car that's been exported?

    Can you bring a car back to the US after it was exported? We have not paid RIV or done any other importing work other than form one at the border. Please help. We might not actually stay here...finding it's too expensive and not as realistic as we hoped.

    72 Hour Notice of Export of Car to The Border?

    Just a clarifying question: It's okay to submit the information for export to the border crossing as long as there is at least 72 hours before the date you plan to export? I submitted my notice to them a week ago for exportation on the 23rd of this month, so because that's over 72 hours, I...

    Driving History and Insurance

    I'll be moving back to Ontario in September. I was curious if I should obtain not only my US Driving history, but my Canadian one as well? Do you think this will help with insurance rates as I show a longer history than 1000+ days in the US? (I have a history from when I was 17 in Canada)...
