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.

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

The US dollar is doing well so the exchange rate is advantageous for you ($1 US dollar buys $1.31 CDN)

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!
