    An interesting tidbit, if you really want to you can just import the vehicle without exporting it out of the USA first and skip all the paperwork hassle.

    Canada Customs will do it for you if you tell them you didn't export the vehicle out of the USA. They offered to do this for me. However, US Customs will fine you $5000 USD. I guess if you don't plan on travelling to the US you could do this option

    I'd recommend using a customs broker.. that way you can buy a car, have it shipped and delivered to your home and not even have to see any paperwork.. takes a ton of the hassle out of the process. I think I paid about $150 for a customs broker.

    For transportation, I used a broker named, Dion, [email protected] is his email address. Their website is www.aa-auto.com. While the transportation did go well, his communication along the way was awful.

    I used Preferred Service (http://www.preferredservice.ca) to broker the car through customs, which was also a bit of a mess as they forgot to put the documents I needed to register the car in the glove compartment which delayed things by about a week. They were otherwise great.

    I have a question.
    My dad brought up his 03 tdi from florida. He was planning to drive it back down but because of high gas prices i told him i would buy it off him. So, now i have a jetta from florida and my dad didn't get any papers from the border, does this mean i have to drive to the border to get the process title?


    What a life.

    Is the car insured? Do you have a plate on it? You might have all the documents done , because i dont see how it would be registered with out them.

    I think he means his dad came from Florida to Alberta, so the car has Florida registration/plates/etc on it at the moment. Now he bought it from his dad while the car is in Alberta (still with Florida plates etc on it) and he would now like to register it in Alberta. Am I correct el-niino?

    i have imported 5 toyota supras from the us, from 91-94 its all a straight forward process



    adding day time running lights to any car is very easy.



    and the first RWD car i seen here was a 94+ newer toyota supra from japan registered. so that 15 year old law doesnt apply to certain things some how. i knew that even before i seen it. even if he got it through the us. whoo big deal.


    canada customs are very simple and straight forward. for one 1992 i paid 1000usd dollars in 2001. (right after 9/11) just pay 120 ac fee, 7%Gst and 160 to RIV (you can send them a check)

    that dumb thing about is Canadian tire can only preform the inspections. but sometimes they dont even look at it. this is for federal inspects not out of province. there might be other places doing it but i dont know.

    correct. I haven't bought the car from him yet. It still has florida plates and it is still insured in florida.

    yes, that 15 year rule does apply, there are some loop holes though. Which is why there's a newer fairlady z rolling around town.

    never say you have a/c they will not check inside your car. thats 100 dollars you save.
    on the bill of sale reduce the price to half of what u paid or more, they will check the red book(kinda like the kellys blue book)but say the car is as is not working properly and needs a new engine.
    the seller has to put as is no refund on bill of sale to make it more realistic it saved me lots.

    Actually , This wont work at all , the US can check Canadian plates , and when you go through the boarder , the US takes pictures of the plates , I dont suggest anyone doing this , it could get you into some serious shit.

    they can easily check your plates when you cross the border. And its not very hard to do, when i had my scanner, i heard rcmp calling in US plates all the time, just took a little longer for dispatch to run it through the other computer. But when crossing the border, they have direct acess to those plates.

    ^^ You have to wait until you can import the 1993s , and as for loop holes , nope none , unless you want to bring the car in as a parts car , display car (or whatever its called , a racing shop can do this) , or your an international student who is going to school here , and thats a 1 year rule.

    never say that dont have an ac, they are not dumb, you think your the only one who is importing? they wont check insisde your car? canada customs will check your car even if you said you have ac, why would you lie about 100 when you saving thousands?

    supra is good to import because the kelly book value is always like 10-15 thousand less. i dont know of any other known common car that has that issue.

    and because of all this 9/11 "laws", canada shares everything with us, registry stuff, plates, everything. the US can look up our ids, everything, they stationed fbi agents in big cities like calgary, toronto . etc. all in the name of terror. but canada customs is very nice so when arab guy like be brings in a supra or any other car for that matter , i have no problems with them what so ever, they are only happy to help. dont lie to us/or canada customs or to any officer for that matter.
