TPMS

Hi, I can share my experience of crossing Windsor-Detroit. In last one year i crossed tunnel hundreds of time. I choose tunnel over the bridge because heavy trucks can’t cross there. So it usually better frok traffic point of view. But again it depends upon the day or time of the day when tunnel become buzy. when you will reach the boarder security officer, either he may ask you want to declare or you can tell him you want to declare car to import in case if he does not ask. He will paste yellow sticker on your windshield and show you which way to go. Just follow instructions and bring documents to the office. Then show your documents when you will he called. At the end he will give you documents with stamp, you will pay fee, then good to go

I called Canadian tires in Hamilton and they were ok in installing. Initially, they thought i want them install and tune snd they gave me 120 cad rate. But I visited in real they found its quite simple task and charge me around 20 cad. So make sure convey them clearly when you want from them. A few places were refusing me too as they said they did not have expertise for this job. In fact, its very simple anyone can install it. https://www.amazon.com/Blueskysea-Wireless-Monitoring-Real-time-Temperature/dp/B07QNV8T31/ref=mp_s_a_1_7_sspa?crid=2HIJBV0NZFH14&keywords=tpms+solar+power&qid=1666231627&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjAwIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=tpms+solar%2Caps%

Hi Everyone, I want to share my story as this forum was extremely helpful to me to import my Hyundai Elantra 2020 to US. I moved to usa on TN visa as I got job. I started completing documents including compliance letter & loan pay off. Initially, I came to know that there was a recall on my car and I could not get compliance letter until the recall is cleared. Hyundai mentioned they were trying to figure out how to resolve the issue but they did not had solution at that time. It took almost two months to get the recall cleared. Then, it took 2-3 weeks to get compliance letter where the real story begin. Compliance letter showed the car is not installed with TPMS. We bought off the shelf TPMS from amazon, made an appointment with Canadian tire. They only charged around 20 cad to install, they mentioned that they are charging minimum amount required to issue invoice otherwise they could do that for free as it was so simple process. We declared the car at Windsor-Detroit tunnel on one Sunday night and officer sent us to go inside the custom office. We went inside and officer there checked the record and told us that car status is shown its salvaged we can’t import. I mentioned that we bought it from dealership he said get some letter from service Ontario and come back. He mentioned that TPMS is not issue we have already installed with mechanic and have invoice. Additionally, he mentioned that we are not required to import car on TN visa we can drive as long as i work on TN as it is considered as temporary visa. I received a letter from service Ontario showing car was bought brand new nothing salvaged. Next weekend crossed the boarder and declared the car. Officer inside the custom office mentioned again we don’t require to import and can drive Canadian plates on TN visa. He checked and said all documents were OK including TMPS invoice. And said if want to import just pay duty and all process is completed. But said again you are not required to import as you are here temporarily. We changed mind and left without import but after a few weeks we decided to import it did same process at boarder, paid duty, showed documents and import process was done. next we got local insurance, title, and license. All the officers accepted the after market installed TPMS. I believe import thing is the original compliance letter, no loan attached to car, and TPMS with installed invoice would work. Thank you everyone for support.
