I am planning on buying a used Sprinter in the states and want to import it to Canada. Canada Customs needs documentation that the US Sprinter will meet Canada emissions and safety standards. As I understant it all passenger sprinters imported to North America were built in Germany and there were not models specific to the US or Canada.
Does anyone have the contact information on where I can get this documentation. My local Dodge dealer was clueless about this matter.

re importing into Canada.
One of our members Sprinterman did this for a new van , not that easy as to the specifics of the Grey area of importing new and second hand.
You will need to change Speedo to metric, Change engine Vin number stickers to side door panel or place on dashboard, not sure which at the moment, there may be an issue with the bumper brackets for impact at between 5 to 10 miles pH impact as Canada has a higher impact ratio than most U.S states , the easiest way would be to arrange for an import broker to do this for you, but it's not that hard, as you have not stated the year of the Sprinter I'm just a little lost as to emission standards they vary in Canada as to the specific years and running lights have to be installed to run full time in some or all provenience's .
Warranty is non-transferable if there is one on the Sprinter, this is a Grey area with politics involved, to keep a warranty you will have to be registered with a U.S address.
If you require more info I can post N.A.F.A web site info regarding importing into the U.S and Canada -cross boarder transferee
PS for compliance this has to be done via a authorized Dodge dealer and the report costs CA$500.00.
