nobody seems to care about the speedo when you go to register you have to have proof of payment of the gst so you get that at the border or at your local federal office as your import will be on their computer system remember that the documents you fax at the border have to be faxed to the office at the port of entry and if you can check that they have them where they need to be or there will be a problem when you are at the border
