Apparently its quite simple to buy a BYD vehicle from Mexico and import it into the US already.

I suspect the same thing will happen for northern states buying from Canada!

This is entirely incorrect. You cannot permanently import or register a vehicle which has not undergone homologation. None of these vehicles have been certified to meet US safety standards and they cannot be imported permanently.
