Importing used Car from US to Canada

[blal]

I have a COPR and will be moving to Canada. I want to take my car with me. I purchased this 4 years ago and have been using since then. I will be crossing the border in Ontario and will be registering my car there/ Do I need to pay GST and HST as this is a used vehicle and I have been using it for years?

Thank you. The article says "How much tax? You will pay GST (and HST, depending on your province of entry) for the full amount of the vehicle as listed in the bill of sale. Customs will always fuss over the amount". But my car was purchased 4 years back. Do I need to pay tax on that value? I also read somewhere that if I am moving to Canada to settle there, I do not have to pay taxes. I am a bit confused.

Did you also move to Canada with cars?

I did not. But there are other threads in this forum which might help you. : https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/search/2913488/?q=importing+car+from+us&o=relevance&c[node]=14

I plan on driving my car from US to Canada. I got an AES ITN number from a brokker. I sent my VIN, ITN and planned date of border crossing date to US CBP email address of the port I will be crossing. I got am immediate and automatic reply as below. It has already been 72 hours and I did not receive anything else. Do they confirmation immediately after 72 hours?




Email content:

There is a new process (explained below) for exporting self-propelled vehicles from the United States.





Effective October 3, 2014 the U.S. Census Bureau (Census) mandated the filing of Electronic Export Information (EEI) through ACE(Automated Commercial Environment) and in order to file/receive an ITN number, exporters will need to set up an exporter account in the ACE Portal via https://ace.cbp.dhs.gov/acexpub/acexpub_Apps/ExporterAccountApplication/expForm.php.

These regulations apply to all used-self-propelled vehicles.



Internal Transaction Number (ITN) is required to be completed and submitted for all mandatory AES filings 72 hours prior to export. Ownership documentation (Title) for used self-propelled vehicles must be submitted to Customs at least 72 hours prior to export (DETROITVEHICLEEXPORT@CBP.DHS.GOV).



Required Items:

ITN number received through ACE

Email sent to CBP with VIN number and ITN number 72 hours in advance



If you have any questions please see the references below or call 313-964-7191
