I have come across an aircraft which I may be interested in purchasing. Among the many things about the machine is that it is owned by a Canadien citizen and therefore must be brought into the U.S. for registration etc. While I am sure there must be procedures and processes to do this, I decided to ask forum members for any tips/knowledge etc., squares that need to be filled and so on. Among the things which I have thought of to date include:

-Transfer of inspection records, licenses, changes in ratings, compliance with AD's issued by U.S. , admissibility of any STC actions on the aircraft etc. I will, of course, be asking these questions of the FAA and will ask AOPA for its' input. which reminds me, is there an office of the EAA to solicit guidance from ? What is the proper way to handle taxes pertinet to a sale across the borders ?

Mostly, I am asking these questions here in hopes of tapping some personal experience from members who may have been down this path before.
