First of all, you should contact the Registrar of Motor Vehicles website: www.rmv.ca so that you can determine whether Transport Canada will allow you to import the type of vehicle you would like to import. Many vehicles from the US are allowed into Canada, but vehicles from other countries are not typically allowed. Once you have discovered whether your vehicle is admissible, US Customs must be advised of the vehicle’s export no less than 72 hours before exporting. For all arrangements for the vehicle’s import into Canada, payment of applicable duties, taxes, and the filing of pertinent RIV forms can be handled by Capital on your behalf. We’ll also need the bill of sale and the vehicle’s registration documents along with the time and the port of entry for your vehicle. If you are not driving the car into Canada, but instead using the services of a commercial carrier, you must advise us of the carrier so that we may coordinate the shipment.
