Malta? Hmmm...

When I went to import my car into Canada from Connecticut, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) interpreted the "MIxxx" VIN as "M1xxx". The former is Michigan, meaning the car was duty-free under NAFTA, while the latter represents Malta - meaning I would have had to pay duty (6.25%, IIRC). It took a few hours on the phone with the good folkas at the Michigan Secretary of State to get a letter that satisfied the Canadian authorities.
