T&T: Canadian Purchase

[Richard]

Report to your state (county actually as the county tax is slightly 
different county to county in Washington) revenue folks and they will figure 
it out. In Washington, depends on the age of the boat, whether you have 
evidence that sales tax was paid, you are liable for the difference between 
the 'book' amount and the amount you can show that was paid in Canada. You 
must clear the boat thru Customs but it might not cost you anything. If the 
boat is Registered (same as 'documented') skip this step at peril of losing 
your boat. For a licensed boat (my experience) this is slightly different I 
think but still not worth the risk to mess with. Don't believe a thing you 
read in the list on this. Phone your point of entry customs folks and ask, 
same for county revenue people (sometimes the county auditor).
