Importing used tab from USto Canada

Burgman

We are in the looking stages of buying a used tab there seem to be very few used north of the border. We are wondering how many hoops are needed to bring one back to Canada if it were two or three years old. Has anyone on this site bought one I the states and imported it into Canada.   Thanks  Burgman

That border patrol season 1 in Canada has an episode on buying a car across the border. They had to file tax paperwork and show insurance I think and pay. Id call the  border patrol office and ask.  Best of luck. Just south of the border in Spokane there are heaps of T@bs. Heck all of Washington state.

Talk to your local DMV.  They should know.

I did help in i porting a car from the US a few year back.

it can be done, but you have paper work with the US border of custom that need to release the vehicule and with canadian custom to bring the vehicule in.

get on the web, you will easely find the information and documents to fill.  If like a car, once you take possession, you will need to wait 48 bussiness days to get to the US border.  You have to pay s processing fee and then canada, you will need to pay the fed tax and then probably go for an inspection in the following weeks.

but that is for a car, trailer could be different.  But the info is outthere and easy to find.

good luck

@broderius

A friend of mine did this, she needed clear title from US (Calif as she bought it in LA) then it took three months at the border to get all the paperwork sorted, US Custom release, Canadian Custom import paper work.   The LA dealer had buggered up some of the paperwork on his end, which was part of the delay.  The Canadian Customs office is the place to get the current info.  It can be done, you need to pay Canadian taxes, etc., and it is not a one day, or even one week, process.

I have no idea when this guide was written, but found it searching the web with Importing a travel trailer from the us to Canada. There were other hits. https://www.paulsherryrvs.com/import-rv-into-canada-from-usa/

Here's a link to CBSA (Customs Canada) regulations on importing a vehicle in to Canada. 

At first glance it may be intimidating but if you read through it's fairly straightforward. There are procedure sections outlining exactly what you need. Suggest you also call the Canadian Customs office at the location you will be crossing.

Ditto for the US export side... Here's the link to the US Customs export regulations (for "vehicles") and actually - this site (from Canada's Registrar of Imported Vehicles...) provides an overview of what you need from the US side, and does not appear you need to provide advance export declaration-
