How to Import a Mercedes Benz From Canada to the US


1. Retain the services of a customs broker. Find a customs broker by looking in your local Canadian phone book. You will need to retain exporting services to transport your Mercedes-Benz into the United States. Set an arrival date to inform U.S. Customs of the vehicles arrival for inspection.
2. Gather your vehicle information. This includes the original bill of sale, VIN number, color, model, trim level, and mileage as well as insurance information and vehicle registration.
3. Download EPA Form 3520-1 and DOT Form HS-7. Go to the Environmental Protection Agency's website and the Department of Transportation's website. Find forms 3520-1 and HS-7. Download and print. Complete the forms with the assistance of your customs broker.
4. Clean the vehicle's undercarriage. Ask your customs broker for the name and location of a professional undercarriage cleaning service. The U.S. Department of Agriculture requires any cars coming from foreign countries to have a clean undercarriage free of dirt, soil and road salt.
