TEXT:

I would like to know can a Canadian car that was accommodated by a Canadian manufacturing letter stating that the vehicle complies with U.S. safety standards, can be imported as a conforming vehicle under Box 2?

If so, does it make a difference if it is being imported for commercial or private purposes.

Your prompt response would be greatly appreciated.
