The dealer brought the car through Detroit/Windsor for me and I handled the Canadian side customs. Everything about how to do this is online, and it's amazingly simple when you have the proper paperwork and the border has experience in this. You must pay the Federal portion of the HST at the border, and the provincial portion when you get it home and license it. The DMV can be a problem here because they don't always know what's going on, so keep your receipts as proof.
