Relocation to USA
Anyone know what is required to bring your baby across the border from Canada to the USA? I am relocating for work to FL, and want to know what to expect from a border perspective. Also, insurance, licensing etc. If anyone has any input, please let me know.
Thx.

Here's a link to the Florida DMV which should help.
I do not think there is any problem bringing your vette across the boarder as I see many Canadian registered cars on florida roads all winter long. As for registering it in the U.S. that will mandate that it meet safety and emission standards for the U.S.

2023 C5 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
I imported my Camaro from UK into NV.
Apart from the shipping paperwork I filled out an OMB Form 1515 and an OMB Form 2127. Both are available online at the US Customs website. I'd already paid US tax on the car so there was no tax due in my case. Worth checking that though.
If you're a Canadian citizen this may help:

Best of luck.
