What I'm saying is do it with customer at home. This is just to test whether clearance to export has happened prior to official notification. If the first one worked I would do a few more to be sure. If it didn't work I would wait a week and try again.
I think we should leave it to ETI to resolve the issue.
They know what they need to do and who to deal with.
I don't think it helps to run interference.

I agree with you fully! Leave it to ETI! If you don't know what your doing with those government agencies it can do more harm than good. We trusted Tammy and Resse to build our $ 30,000 dollar trailers, lets trust them to straighten this out.
If anyone is interested in current status information, without bothering Escape staff and without bringing the issue to the attention of U.S. border officials, why not just check the VIN Decoder, or in NHTSA's online Manufacturer's Information Database (MID), do a search in WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier) information in the SAE database for "Name contains 'Escape Trailer Industries' AND Country contains 'Canada'"?
The status hasn't changed yet.
Tammy can herself, and she's working on it. We can't; all we can do is stay out of the way.LOL we all can post a link, but who can get that goofy colored exclamation mark to go away on that website for Tammy :banghead:

That is so helpful, thank you!
Looks like the process has been in place since 2012.
WMI Application
For Non-US Based Manufacturers:
Beginning January 1, 2012, SAE will begin charging a one-time only fee of $525 USD for companies needing a World Manufacturers Identifier (WMI) code from areas outside of the United States where there is no governing body established to assign a WMI Code.
The code provided will be for on-road vehicles only.
Hi Klem so correct if I am wrong is the one time fee for the WMI a one time fee , the manufacturer pays ? Hopefully it is not for each trailer ? Is this something we need to be concerned about for our trailer back in Nov . 2013 ? What if we cross into Canada and then when we come back to the United Stares ? Pat
This is certainly for the manufacturer, and not for individual trailers.Hi Klem so correct if I am wrong is the one time fee for the WMI a one time fee , the manufacturer pays ? Hopefully it is not for each trailer ?
I'm sure that it is not a concern for any trailer which has already been imported into the United States. When a U.S. residents visits Canada with a trailer, that's not exporting and re-importing the trailer - the trailer is just one of your possessions that you're taking with you - so there's no issue.Is this something we need to be concerned about for our trailer back in Nov . 2013 ?
