you may need to prove it complies with United States EPA regulations. if it has a sticker saying it complies with United states regulations that is good. if there is no sticker, you could have a problem on your hands.
Just because its made in USA does not mean its EPA compliant in the border agents eyes. just saying if they ask you will have to prove it.

It will be compliant and the sticker on the tunnel will be there to say so. You might have more problems with a new sled than a used sled. Not so much with the border but the dealer may not sell to you if they know you are taking it across.
Used sled and the dealers apparently will honor warranties??
I have bought sleds in the USA and brought to Canada and in that case you do need the NIVIS form and the bill of sale and they like you to fax the documents to the border crossing a few days in advance. I expect it is similar going the other direction.
You will likely have to pay Sales tax in Canada, 7% in Alberta and I think 14% in BC. You may be able to get this back if you tell them you are from out of Province but then you risk them telling you that they are not allowed to sell to you because of a rule from the manufacturer.

And if I remember right you have to have all the paperwork at the border crossing of your choice for 72 hours before you can leave with it..
Buying out of country, you shouldn't get charged any Cdn taxes, but I'm fairly certain they'll need your money transfer etc to come from your US bank, so they "know" it's not going to a Cdn destination.
But pretty sure Teth-Air is right, don't think you can buy new and take it across, the dealer isn't supposed to sell new out of country.

you could also hire a customs broker, they would know the drill. a lot of people have been buying cars in canada and bringing them to the states, cant be much different.
