Importing Vehicle

[headingnorth]

Hi All,

I have a car that i recently paid off so that i could import the car to Canada. I have the title with me with a lien release signature on the title. Is that sufficient to prove that i own the car or should i get a new title without the lien on it. Also if anyone can point me to some process documenatation, i would really appreciate it.
Also any recommendations for moving companies....

That should be enough.

release of lien will suffice. No need to get a new title. What country are you moving from? We just imported our car from the US in September

Can you confirm if the US border officials take the US license plate away once its exported?

No the border officials don’t take your license plate. You have to take your car somewhere like Canadian tire to have an out of province inspection. You have to make the necessary modifications before they give you your inspection form and then you take that and get your car registered and insured for your province. That’s when you would switch out the plates

I just shipped my car earlier this month. I used a San Diego based shipping company called US CANADA AUTO transport. They quoted me around USD$1,300 from south cali to BC. They will fill AES for you so saved couple bucks here.
Car shipped to a warehouse for pending custom clearance, who charges a CAD$125 storage fee. CBSA at the border charged a CAD$100 AC environmental fee if your car has AC.

Did not declare any care in Goods to Follow list. I am planning to buy a car in the US and import to Canada. Can i still import my care without heavy taxes.

Thanks

Have you arrived in Canada already? If so, then you can’t avoid importing taxes. New settler’s tax exemption only apply to items(vehicle) you owned before you first land in Canada.

Hello,
