Grey Market Vehicles (just in case)

Grey market vehicles are foreign-specification vehicles that are re-certified by a United States company. They were originally manufactured for the domestic market of a foreign country and were subsequently imported into the United States where they have been modified to comply with the United States safety and emissions standards. Grey market vehicles may be identified by a label affixed by the United States company that altered the vehicle, indicating that they have been "imported", "altered", or "modified" to comply with the United States standards. These vehicles may not have a certification label affixed to them. Grey market vehicles less than 15 years old are inadmissible for entry to Canada
