importing from NY across lewiston
Anyone know what will be acceptable, insurance wise, at NY DMV in order to get an in-transit tag?
Thanks,
Stu

I remember a couple of years back that a memeber here was looking into it and that if both the seller and buyer go to the NY DMV, that a temp tag can be obtained. Ithink you need to have a very co-opertive seller to go thru all the hassle to do this.
Search the NY DMV or call them to be sure. As much as advice on this forum is good - you should always do your own researh and be 100% sure of the rules to avoid surprizes...

Cruising
i showed them the title, my driver's licence and a letter from my insurance provider showing vin # and proof of coverage. i think the fee was $15-20 for a 30 day temp tag(permit).
this allowed me to cross at Lewiston and to get the necessary inspections for an Ontario licence plate/registration.
hope this helps. good luck.

i acquired a temp tag from the DMV in New York State in 2011.
i showed them the title, my driver's licence and a letter from my insurance provider showing vin # and proof of coverage. i think the fee was $15-20 for a 30 day temp tag(permit).
this allowed me to cross at Lewiston and to get the necessary inspections for an Ontario licence plate/registration.

Thanks to all. I think I have the bugs worked out and hopefully in the next couple of days I'll have the new addition home. 2001 6sp Targa.

Car is home.
I'm in the middle of the RIV process now.
Getting the car across the border was quite easy and getting the in-transit tags was just as vetfever said.
The tag was $12.50
US customs is serious about the 72 hour thing.
Canadian Customs can get quite aggressive in determining the value of the car. I saw a car with a bill of sale that customs was questioning. They went online and saw the car listed for alot more than the bill of sale.
And make sure you get a bill of sale - even if it is a private sale.
Overall, easy, IF you do your homework.
