shipping and car woes
Okay- My fiance was just informed by Honda that
his car doesn't meet U.S. standards because it does not have airbags..It is an 91 accord... Half the autos in the rural town in Missouri that I live in are not equipped with airbags.. He called and it can't be retro installed into his car. Has anyone else ran across this problem? Which leads to my next question... Has anyone shipped their belongings to the US from Calgary Ca? If so- who? He mailed his checklist back last week to Toronto. Hopefully we should be hearing something soon. Thank You for your help.. Somedays I don't know what I would do without this forum.. It is the 1st thing I read every morning... |

Just curious why did he send the checklist to Toronto? The only two US Consulates doing K-1s in Canada are Vancouver and Montreal. Rete |

Tammie,
12-13 year old car... Sell it and buy a replacement in the US when he gets here. A car that old, no matter how good the shape it may be in, is not worth the hassle and expense.

Re: shipping and car woes
Originally posted by Rete My husband had just this problem with his '91 Eagle Summit in '98. No passive seat belts and no dual airbags. Was not give the manufacturer's compliance letter for importation. Wound up selling that car, getting another that Chrysler said passed, drove it across the border without the certificate because of time restraints. Was given one year to return it to Canada by Custom's Agent or return with the compliance certificate which Chyrsler said would be sent to him at our NY address. Only later told us still was not in compliance with DOT laws. Returned it to Canada and turned it in for a third card 6 months later. It sucked. Just curious why did he send the checklist to Toronto?
