Just thinking out side the box... hoping it may help.
1: It's been tried before (going both ways across the border with various cars/makes/models), a certain CSX4000 series just got caught up in this scam of the system and was on Ebay "for export only" (neither to the US, Canada, or the UK I believe). Owner of the car lost his investment when it got impounded by the powers that be. Then sold at a government auction, again for "Export Only". Never to darken either countries sovereignty ever again.

2: No reason why you cannot do so, I know of an early LHD ERA sitting in storage awaiting a trip to Australia when it's time has come.
