Default Import from USA, then export to USA

Giday,

I've been working in the USA for a few years. It's time to head back. I've done the research on importing my 2009 Outback XT. Seems straight forward.

However, if in a few years, I find myself with another US based job, it seems I'd have to import the car to USA again...

Anyone done that? It seems I wouldn't have to pay any duty etc, since the car originated there. For that matter, if I were then to again import the car back to Canada, same thing.

It seems logical, but we're talking about regulations here...

if u happen to go back to USA, you will sell your car in Europe for much better money than here and you will get yourself a new one on this side of the pond. Simple
