This isn't really any different than what the Customs Service was doing prior to being merged into the Department of Homeland Security. In the gray market days of the '80s it was pretty common to legally import a euro vehicle into Canada and try to sneak it into the U.S. I remember seeing a non-conforming Maserati sitting in a Customs impound lot on the northern border. Seems that a smuggler took his girlfriend up to Canada, fitted the Maser with a ski rack and skis and claimed to Customs to be returning to the U.S. from a ski trip. He got caught and lost the car.
