M101A3 export to Canada

[Simeonr]

Hi all, I'm new to Steel Soldiers. This is a great site !

I am a Canadian in Vancouver, BC. I am looking into purchasing a M101A3 trailer from a private US citizen. Is there likely to be any issue with me exporting this from the US to Canada? I have read a bit about DMIL codes and End User Agreements. How do I find out if this trailer is subject to these? Appreciate any advice? thanks

Hello, and welcome!

I have little information for you but I do know that the folks at the Idaho Motor Pool can and do ship to Canada. You may consider calling them for information, though I don't know how forthcoming they would be with help and time spent if you aren't purchasing from them.

If the seller is the original purchaser of the trailer from the government you should be asking him if he had to fill out an EUC. Some trailers sold with EUCs and many did not. I would think you could pull it across the boarder if you had it pre-registered/tagged with Canadian plates and it had no EUC, but I could be wrong. Good luck.

My M101A1 required a EUC. My M1101 did not. I don't think any sane person has figured out the exact reason some items require EUC and others don't. Keep in mind that the EUC applies not only to the original civilian buyer but to all subsequent buyers as well. Section III Item 4 on my EUC spells this out. Be sure to ask any prospective seller about the EUC status of the trailer in question.

Your local Motor Vehicle authority may know the answer to your question or a local Military Vehicle group may have a good answer on who to contact.

lf it has a title you won't have a problem bringing it into Canada.

Thank you very much to all for the responses and information. Looks like I need to do some more research. If I work this out I'll post my findings.
