Re: Buying a car in Canada and getting licensed in USA
To title the car you will want to contact the manufacturer and they will provide a letter of conformity which states safety and emissions regulation standards. If the car was manufactured in Canada, US or Mexico then no duties. If built elsewhere then you have to pay US import duties. This is for crossing the border. In Ohio we have to have a VIN inspection before they issue a title, I suspect most states are the same. If car will never be registered for the road (race car) the border won't ask for anything. I went thru all these when we moved to the US.

Re: Buying a car in Canada and getting licensed in USA
When I decided to move to the U.S. and start my life here, it took me some time to gather all the information about what I needed to do to get my driver's license, register my car, and obtain a Social Security number. The first thing that came to my mind was that I'll have to find a trustworthy seller for the car I used to drive in Canada. Then I found on https://www.jdmbuysell.com/ that you can register the car with DMV. And other things were pretty easy, too, thank God, so there is no need to stress about it.
