    You need it for any vehicle doing 5500 miles or more per year in USA, over I think 26000 pounds. Does not matter your nationality or where your base plate is from.

    But he’s not running in the USA but has US plates in Canada (I guess)


    But either way no 2290 no US plates

    As Cat said I’m not going to cross the border and will be doing Toronto - Ottawa , that’s it .
    I’m guessing I have to pay $500 every year , just for using US plates . I’m I right ?
