Import into Canada - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

secondchance · 08-21-2009

Has anyone on the forum purchased a car from US and drove into Canada?
If so, following are some questions:

1. Would Canadian DMV equivalent issue temporary tag prior to purchase for use driving back to Canada? Car is being purchased from an individual and not a dealer.
2. Is a title all you need for crossing into Canada? Should the car be declared at this time for import tariff?
3. Does the car need to be modified to meet Canadian specific regulations? i.e. DRL.

A buddy of mine has settled on a 2002 coupe in Baltimore. He will fly down here a couple of weeks and plan to drive it back.

Thanks in advance for any info.
