Buying a car in Canada and getting licensed in USA

The documentation required is pretty straightforward but would add that your port of entry can make a huge difference in your experience. The border agents at Havre MT were great, even downloaded an additional form for me. Some other crossings have been less spectacular. I’ve crossed the border dozens of times for business and pleasure but basically if paperwork is in order and you display absolutely no sense of humor you’re good. And absolutely no weapons or ammunition. If you have a carrier doing the transport I’d solicit input here on which one(s) to use.
