It really is pretty simple. I had bought a car from Canada and went through a little bit of a run around with it simply because I didn't check everything out prior to buying it. As far as I know if the customs/border agents know your taking the car into the US after purchase you need them to check everything out. If the seller is driving the car across the border with intentions on selling it, he needs to let them know so they can check it out.
The car I bought, the seller told me everything was in order and ready to go. Turns out he didn't say a word to the border agents and I ended up driving the car back missing alot of info on the car. After getting home I couldn't title the car without the EPA stuff. Called up the MSP airport and spoke with their customs agents. Drove down and spoke with a guy there and he put some stamp on the title after asking if the car was 'modified, all the stock exhaust still there, or any egr/emissions stuff in tact?' I simply said yes. Got the stamp without anyone checking out the car, just my word on it. I was pretty amazed. Easy enough.
