REVscene Automotive Forum - View Single Post - Guide to Importing US Vehicles *revised!*

Both my autoplan agent and ICBC customer service have told me an insurance binder is not enough to legally drive a car accross the border. I also need to buy a Transit Permit from Washington to license the car itself. ICBC told me they would impound the vehicle at the border if I did not have this Transit Permit. Perhaps the first post in this thread should be modified before someone gets themselves in some hot water...

Talked to Washington State Licensing: 360-902-3600

The "transit permit" is good for one day. You can buy a "trip permit" that's good for three days for ~$30.

Cost Cutter Licensing is just across the Baine border crossing 360-332-7089.
