My boat came from Racine, Wisconsin....the trucker I hired to go get it would only do it if I hired a 'border broker'.....when the trucker reached the Canadian border, the border broker handled all the red tape and paid the taxes. no hassles or problems for anyone especially the trucker....border broker cost $130....well worth it.
