So where do you get such a letter from? Um I think I got mine from the previous owner, it was a fax from the trailer manufacturer, or that is what it looked like.umm yeah so that was lucky. If they did not like the letter I was going to go to another Canadian tire till I found someone that did like it, but first try everything went well. Max tire weight is 1870 lbs for this tire, max pressure is 50 psi.įor those Canadians looking to import a trailer I would suggest you have a letter from Escort stating all the above if it cannot be read off of the compliance label as they need this info to pass the federal test, without it you have to send the trailer back to the us! Given Escort no longer exists this can be difficult to say the least, luckily I had such a letter from 2004 when they did still exist and it had all the above info on it, plus year and month of manufacture, Federal test at Canadian tire was a breeze with this. I then went back to my faded compliance label and looked REALLY hard at it, by wetting the area where it tells you max load and having the light shine on it just right I could make out that 3075 lbs, the gross vehicle weight is 3740 lbs, so net trailer weight must be 665 lbs. I worked out that my trailer was a 20' WT20GEB-X, with the titan ST 215/75D14C, BSW, (GALV) SPOKE wheels and tires. At the top of this page you can navigatye thru and find diagrams of different models they made etc. (On ezy-loader trailers look on the inside of the metal box frame where it joins to the drawbar that goes to the hitch, actually inside the tube.) Once you have that go here to find you trailer model, you will also be able to decode your vin from this link, model year of manufacture, length, where it was made etc. It should be clear on this label, it was crystal clear on mine. With Escort trailers look on the inside of the main beams that run to the back of the trailer, about 1-2ft from the back of the trailer.

VIN should also be somewhere else on the trailer other than on the compliance label. So I vowed to share my knowledge once I jumped thru all the hoops, as I found links like this one invaluable and helped me avoid having to export the trailer back to the us.so here goes.

I also had the problem of the Compliance label being unreadable as the ink had faded and need all kinds of info from this label to complete the importation process. I have recently imported a 20' Escort trailer from the US to Canada.
