I have been in the US with TN-visa for over 4 years now. When i brought my car from Canada, i did not pay duties, because of the TN visa program rules. I only paid the State registration taxes just like i have moved from another state. Total expenses was something like $450..
I registered the car, used it for a couple years, and sold it to purchase another car. Moving back to Canada soon ( I miss Canada! ), anyone knows if the procedure would be the same?

and (i) states:
* Vehicles that are imported by a resident of Canada returning to Canada who:
(i) immediately before returning to Canada, had been a resident of another country for at least 12 consecutive months; or
(ii) has been continuously absent from Canada for at least six months and, during the period of continuous absence, owned the motor vehicle for at least six months; or
(iii) had emigrated from Canada or had been assigned to extended duty in another country and has been compelled to return to Canada on account of illness, unemployment, educational needs or on account of other personal reasons of a similar nature.
