What you will do at the border
- Produce
your title documents, registration and sales receipts.
- Complete
Vehicle Import Form – Form 1, which Canada
Customs will provide. This requires a Canadian
mailing address. This form must be kept in the vehicle
until it is licensed.
- Canada
Customs will check your vehicle against Transport
Canada's List of Vehicles Admissible from the United States.
They will also verify the public VIN and manufacturer's statement
of compliance label on the vehicle to make sure they match.
- Canada
Customs will collect your nonrefundable Registrar
of Imported Vehicles' fee of $182 in all provinces except
Quebec where it is $197.
- Payment
for the RIV fee may be made directly to Canada Customs with
any major credit card. Canada Customs dies not accept cash
or cheques for the RIV fee. If you wish to pay by cheque
or money order, Canada Customs will provide you with a payment
envelope which must be mailed to the Registrar of Imported
Vehicles. Please note that all personal cheques will be held
for ten business days in order to allow them to clear the
bank. This will use up a portion of your 45 day time limit.
- Remember
that payment of fees and receipt of the Vehicle Import Form
– Form 1 does not warrant that your vehicle is capable of
being brought into conformity with all applicable federal
and provincial or territorial laws.
- The Registrar
of Imported Vehicles will not issue a federal inspection form
or any specific modification information for a vehicle with
an unpaid file. It is important that you do not proceed with
any modificaitons on your vehicle until you receive this federal
inspection form. If the file remains unpaid for 14 days after
importation, they will send the importer a reminder of notice.
