Make sure it has the appropriate manufacturers labels, tags, etc. as it cannot be some home built unit. We witnessed a guy trying to bring a home built unit in and it was refused entry.

 15 years ago I imported one. It was relatively easy. At the same time I brought home a 67 Nova SS on the trailer. It seems to me that the US side didn't care about the trailer. Only the car mattered to them. At the Canadian side the trailer was fairly simple. There was some paperwork to fill out and I had to have an inspection done on it when I got it home. My wife's cousins have a repair shop that does those inspections. At that time Canadian Tire also did those inspections. It was very simple and very cheap. 

I don't know if that has changed now or not, sorry.

In those days it was easy because it was non-motorized. I'm not sure if that has changed though.

IMG_7929.jpegI have heard of people having problems if the trailer compliance sticker is missing or damaged to the point that its unreadable. Thats if the inspector happens want to look at it. I would think it would be like trying to bring a car across without a VIN number.
