My suggestion on importing car from US

hwy_driver(飞驰㊣高速路)
If you are considering to import a car from the States, please be aware of the disadvantages:
1. If you are US citizen, you can keep your US plate and get insurance from US company. otherwise, you have to purchase from Canadian company. It will at least double your premium. the key is you have to prove to the US company you are the US resident, so you should not exchange your US driver's license to the Canadian one.

2. Canadian is not as rich as the American, so your used car resale value will be decreased.

3. If you included your car in the "goods to follow" list when you landed, you would be exempt from the custom tax and PST.

4. Please refer the URL for procedure and modification.

  • 枫下茶话 / 美国话题 / 从美国进口了一辆车，才发现那么麻烦且费钱，开始后悔，反正还要回美国，请问俺该停在那里好？不去做改造？不去换牌照？不去换驾照？不买加国的保险？ -zyfy(zyfy); 2003-4-21 (#1150984@0)
    • 保险是个麻烦。1。如果上加国保险，必须要在这里登记，如要登记，则要改造和办理进口手续。2。如果上美国保险，则要申明这车要很长时间在加境内，保不保由保险公司定；如不如实说，则有出事后保险void的可能性。。。 -dropoutinmiami(饺子--冬眠结束了); 2003-4-21 (#1151018@0)

    • 俺的车已办理了进口手续：这次进加时海关硬要做的，怪俺说了是自己的车，还当场交了１８２ＣＮ＄（不是税钱吧？俺这车是上次ｌａｎｄｉｎｇ前买的，但这次才开进来）， -zyfy(zyfy); 2003-4-21 {214} (#1151647@0)
      现在限令俺５月２３日前去改造．俺的问题是俺是否可以停在哪里不进行下去了，比如还是用美国的牌照？但这样一来，下次进关时有麻烦吧？俺倒是很少会在加国开，俺是加的ｒｅｓｉｄｅｎｔ，但在美工作．
      俺能不能保留两国的牌照呀？

        • Resale is not a problem though. you can sell it in US -man_in_us(Bad Weather Bad day); 2003-4-27 {375} (#1161035@0)
          I imported the car this time. Fortunately my car is very new and Customs did not ask me for any modifications. I also have a problem now - the regulation said I can only use US driver license to drive for two months but I want to keep the US DL and apply a new Canadian which takes too much time. Any ideas? Can I purchase Canadian Insurance with a US driver license? Thanks!

            If you have more than two years US driving experience, you can exchange to full G license of Ontario immediately. Or you can get G2, then you have to pass another road test to get G license. I don't think you can purchase local policy from canadian insurance company using US DL. The same as in US, you can not get local policy from US using Canadian DL.

            I don't understand why you imported your car, if you want to keep the US plate.

      I will also bring my car to Canada after landing. Could anyone tell me that what modifications I need to do with my car? How much I need to pay in general? Do I need to pay "custom tax" for my car? Thanks a lot. my email is lyou0@engr.uky.edu.
