I have a buyer lined up for a bike I have, he lives in the States and he's going to get his bro who lives Blaine to pay me for it. I would have to take the bike down to him.
Anyone sold a bike over the border like this before? Will I have any issues with Border services? I'm not a fan of them so I'd like to know before hand if I will face potential problems…
I made the mistake of declaring my intentions to the border guard at the booth and ended up being told to go into Customs. Once there I was told that I wasn't allowed to enter the US to sell the bike without a valid work permit. Fortunately, the buyer was at the Duty Free across the street, he came over to where we were and Customs turned the other way while we conducted our transaction since technically we were not in the US yet.
The moral of the story, as said by the border guard: "I really wish you hadn't told me that."
