I've been looking at buying a used crane, it seems i can get more crane per dollar in canada than in the u.s.
Has anyone experience in importing equipment from there?

Nope.

Took a dive into researching it a few years ago but never ended up going that route.  As I remember, the emissions label being up to date for the year of manufacture was big, and looked like it was going to be easier to go through a customs broker.

Then at the same time, Also had a friend who claimed he could "bring any equipment in whatever it was" if he called it scrap metal. He no longer works there and we never tested that during his tenure at his previous employment.

Good luck

I buy heavy equipment from Canada. The heavy haulers that deliver it take care of all the permits and border crossing garbage.

Thanks, I've checked out a couple of YouTube videos, if I get serious about it I'll get a broker.
