I travel pretty frequently for work and I recently got a new TN visa. I added it to my nexus after getting approval at an airport.

Today I drove through Blaine and randomly got flagged and sent to secondary. The agent just asked me if this is a new car. I said no, because I imported my car to BC and now I have a BC license plate. In the secondary they checked my car insurance paper and registration. Ofc car also got searched but obviously I had no nothing in there cuz I was just commuting for work.

I’m curious why new licence plate is an automatic flag to the secondary? Or is it the new TN? (That I already entered the US once but it was at an airport)

Appreciate any insights!
