OK I’ve been reading and It's look like 1986 and old is ok. 1987 and new you would have to meet US requirements.

Not Identical to U.S. Version
The Canadian vehicle was not manufactured by the OEM to be identical in all material respects to a vehicle certified for sale in the U.S. The vehicle may be imported without a Customs bond required by EPA through one of the following four exemptions.

(a) 21 OP years old or older
The Canadian vehicle is 21 original production (OP) years old or older (OP years = the calendar year the vehicle was manufactured subtracted from the calendar year the vehicle was imported) and in original unmodified configuration. There is no Customs bond required by EPA, nor any written EPA approval.

Requirements
Importer must be prepared to demonstrate to U.S. Customs, upon entry, or to EPA, the vehicle is 21 OP years old or older. Generally, the vehicle's Canadian registration or title is adequate proof.
Importer must file with U.S. Customs, upon entry, an EPA Form 3520-1 declaring code "E".

Restrictions
The vehicle must be in its original unmodified configuration.
Vehicles at least 21 years old with replacement engines are not eligible for this exemption unless they contain equivalent or newer EPA certified engines.
(b) Immigrant, worker or student exemption.
