POE on Monday

[Janshark 0]

Hi everyone, I've searched this topic and haven't found an answer and I'm running out of time.

I'm planning on doing my POE on Monday morning in Blaine, WA. My Visa is ready for pickup in Burnaby so I'm going to grab it and head for the border.

My only problem is that I haven't received the compliance letter from Chrysler for my Jeep. I requested it in early March, they mailed in on March 19, it hasn't arrived yet so they said they'd fax it last Friday - and it didn't arrive. I can't wait any longer because my car insurance on my motorhome (I tow the Jeep) is going to run out on April 22 and I want to get to Arizona (my final destination) before that.

Here is my question... If I don't have the compliance letter can I do the documetation to formally import the Jeep later after I receive the compliance letter? I'll be living close to the Mexican border and I'm sure i'll have no trouble finding a border office to take care of that. I'm just not sure if I need to do it where I cross? Or can i do it later?

Sorry if this is scattered... it was a long day and tomorrow will be even longer, trying to get all my ducks in a row before leaving. And my doctor wondered why my blood pressure is elevated.

thanks to all who've been there and done that. You're the best.

1) does it have the compliance sticker on the inside of the door or in the engine comp area? Sometimes that works

2) you don't have to do it at the border crossing, you can go to the airport as well as long as it as Custom officials at it

Yes, you can import it at a later date at a POE near you: Locate a Port of Entry

You will have up to one year to do so. Link

This link is in reference to Flames' post re the stickers:

Note: If the vehicle has stickers on the engine (EPA) and inside the drivers-side door (DOT) stating that the car was manufactured to U.S. standards, you will not need a manufacturers letter. Some vehicles are listed by make, model, and year on the DOT and EPA web sites as conforming. If your vehicle is one of those, that would also negate the need for a manufacturer's letter.
