>> Dave...are you certain that the Canadian V8's have a DOT sticker?  I can't find any on mine on the door pillars.  There is, of course, a Transport Canada decal.  Under the hood and affixed to the top of the front x-frame there's a decal stating, among other things, that the car conforms to US EPA regulations.

>> Any Audi that is imported into North America is good on both sides of the boarder . The Canadian cars have a DOT sticker on the door pillar already.  There are some small things that have to be changed with vehicles coming up from the states . Things like Day lite running lights have to be working . I don't know all the laws on this but I know it isn't that hard anymore. ( both ways ) Back in the late 80's Free trade agreement between Canada and the USA established guild lines. I believe they started by charging a duty for cars built and assbly. Canada/US/Mexico that were 15 years or younger, the next year it was 14ys and younger and so on.

>> IMPORT DUTY. An Import Duty may also be payable at the same time. Duty is only applicable to non-NAFTA vehicles and is calculated at 6.1%. NAFTA cars are vehicles that have been manufactured or have been assembled in Canada/US/Mexico with a minimum of 55% content. A "NAFTA" vehicle is exempt of ANY tariffs, duties or taxes when sold in Canada/US/Mexico. A "NAFTA" vehicle can be easily determined by looking at the VIN number. If the first character of the VIN is a NUMBER then it is DUTY FREE. If the first character is a letter, the vehicle is subject to a 6.1% Import Duty.
