Well reading this makes it sound simple....but the website details are confusing.. yes, I can buy products in Canada and take them back across the border...the question is will it cost me $$$ and what exactly are the hoops I need to jump through..
Motorized vehicles are an entirely different matter than trailers...

Phil-
Looks like a key element in that document you posted is whether or not the trailer has a certification label stating that the trailer meets US safety standards. If it doesn't you'll have to go with a registered importer and that importer may be able to answer your questions (and you'll pay them to go through the certification process).
If it DOES have a certification label, that suggests the seller has worked through the process and should be able to answer your questions. In any case, I'd ask the seller about it (if you've not already done so) as they also have an interest in making the sale happen.
Also- is there something special about that trailer that's not available in the US? That trailer manufacturing business has lots of players and what comes to mind is elmo_4_vt's Montrose trailer. That took me to the Montrose Trailers web site where I see lots of options and nationwide shipping. And I'd guess there's somebody closer to you that does similar work.
