It is not a "Calif" car so I had to bring in a used one (at least 7,500 miles). DMV told me that as long as it could pass smog and it met US safety standards I could register it.

Canada's bumper standards are higher than US so that was no problem. I think their emissions standards are higher too.

My insurance company said that as long as I could register it they would insure it.

Downgrades to a two year 24K warranty.

I did not have to pay Canada's taxes but I did have to pay the Calif sales tax when I registered it.
