I asked this question of James Cargo about a week ago and received the following reply:
Quote:
In regards to the EPA Letter, one of the customs clearance documents is the 3520-1 which has a category for EPA waiver on it, in theory negating the requirement for an EPA letter. We have never had any problem with this for customers clearing into the U.S. to date, however a customer on Friday clearing a bike into Anchorage in Alaska was informed that they could only clear their bike with the EPA letter.
It therefore does depend on the customs officer on the day, however as I say we have sent 100's of people into the U.S. without any issues.
