Plan A is to look for a backup number because it's less work than stamping a new one. Canada Customs doesn't care whether it's been (or is currently) registered all they care about is having a trailer and bill of sale with matching VINs. That's pretty much the plan, minus the 'licensing it in the US' part.

I seriously doubt that anyone will put any effort into trying to research a VIN number, especially when the manufacturer is defunct. You can find typical Highlander VIN numbers online. QuoteLacking that, make a number up, stamp it on the frame somewhere near the tongue, and license it in the US somewhere. It was after I'd managed to import it 'by other means' that we were informed where to look for the backup. Yeah, that was the search we did with the EZ-Loader, and nothing turned up. Look for a metal plate welded on the trailer somewhere, or on the frame where the taillights bolt on, or the inside of the frame. If there is another one, it will be hidden in plain sight. KlozhaldThis is not an industry wide practice. Invitation and Mistral and Sunflower and windsurfers w/ Harken hydrofoils and god knows what else. H18 & Zygal (classic) Tornado - stolen and presumed destroyed by evil people. Southern Alberta and all over the damn place. In August I bought an EZ-Loader trailer (with a couple of Sea-Doos on it - don't hate me, there's a story) that was similarly missing its VIN sticker, but EZ-Loader clued me in to the fact that they put backup VIN numbers on a little sticker inside the tongue tube right up where the hitch bolts on.Ĭan anyone tell me whether this Highlander might also have a hidden backup VIN, and if so, where? The VIN sticker has long since weathered/fallen off, and without a VIN it's very difficult to import into Canada. The company went out of business somewhere around 1990.

I'm buying a cat that happens to be sitting on a Highlander trailer (apparently made by Shoreliner in TX, probably in 1983). I appreciate that a trailer question is rather OT, but I can't think of a better group to put this question to.
