"Importing a vehicle into Canada from the United States is not as simple as buying a car, driving to the border and paying some duty. There are a number of steps you must take and questions to be answered.
Do you know what makes and models of vehicles can be imported into Canada?
Are any modifications required?
Is there a recall on that particular vehicle?
Does your province have requirements that must be met?
What documentation do you need?
What duty and taxes must be paid?
How do you move the vehicle without permanent licence plates?
These and other questions need to be dealt with before you bring the car home. So, before you set out, consult the following two web sites to learn about the steps you must take:
How to Import a Vehicle into Canada (Registrar of Imported Vehicles – see below for contact information);
Importing a Vehicle Into Canada (Canada Border Services Agency – see below for contact information).
Frequently asked questions"
This basic information has been provided by Transport Canada.
While this information is VERY important getting started you must know exactly what steps you need to take importing a car into Canada. It is also important to remember that when you drive your car to the border you might well know more than the actual customs agent about importing a car! My wife and I spent an extra $2,000 for a duties tax we didnt need to pay!
