Don't: Assume all government surplus equipment for sale will meet your needs

Don't: Make plans for equipment use before checking military restrictions

Don't: Plan to cross the border with your equipment immediately after sale

Don't: Skip the details on vehicle specifications 

Don't: Leave cross-border transortation arrangements until the last minute

Don't: Forget about documentation you'll need for a U.S.-Canada border crossing
