The best and least troublesome way to do this is: Meet the seller on the Cdn. side of the border, purchase the trailer and after crossing into the USA, declare your purchase. Call/check with US customs before so you know what costs you may be up against. I've been told it is quite minor.

I was thinking it would take 2 trips up . one to purchase it , second trip up to put the plates on it to tow it home over the border .

One trip. Set it up with your insurance co. and get a trip permit. Your good to go.

CON... Ontario use a mountain of salt on the roads. Get some pics of the undercarriage. Any amount of winter driving and all fasteners are seized for life!
