Happening soon is the word.

Word is they may be able to provide installation services as well.

 

I'm sure some of you have seen this quoted before, but since it on topic for this thread.

I have never heard of anyone having to pay duty and tax on the full value of their vehicle, but it would suck if you got that one border guard that was in a bad mood or wanted to prove a point.



Repairs or alterations to your vehicle/vessel/aircraft

If you intend to have repairs or alterations made to your vehicle/vessel/aircraft outside Canada, check with the CBSA before you leave. Under customs legislation, the CBSA can no longer consider your vehicle, vessel or aircraft to be Canadian-made if you increase its value, improve its condition or have it modified outside Canada. As a result, you may have to pay duty and the goods and services tax (GST) or harmonized sales tax (HST) on its entire value when you bring it back.

The value of the repairs or alterations made to your vehicle/vessel/aircraft in the United States, Mexico, Chile, Costa Rica, Israel or another Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement beneficiary will be free of duty when it is re-imported into Canada. GST/HST will apply to the value of the repairs or alterations.

Emergency repairs can be made to your vehicle/vessel/aircraft while you are travelling outside the country to ensure your safe return to Canada. To be eligible for this special provision, however, be sure to declare the value of all repairs and replacement parts when you return to Canada with the vehicle.

Transport Canada also has requirements for vehicles that are extensively modified. For more information, contact Transport Canada's Registrar of Imported Vehicles at 1-888-848-8240.

 

Thanks for the link Octo...good info to know!

 

could a new front bumper and winch be considered "Emergency repairs" lol

 

this is good news as i want a lift and have no mechanical experience! any ideas where they are going to be located? or all over?

 

As long as you're not carrying your stock bumper in the back, I doubt anyone would even notice.

Same goes for a winch, just bolt it down long enough to get it home.
Don't forget to drive through some puddles or throw some dirt on there before heading home.

CASE IN POINT- Canadian vendor wanted approx. $800.00 for a Rugged Ridge XHD stubby.

I pick mine up in Seattle next week for $297.00 USD.

Cheers

 

So "they need to hire some mechanics........Hmmmmm. That would be a cool job for me.

 

In case anyone's interested, about 10 years ago, I used to work as a Customs Officer at the Ft Erie/Buffalo Peace Bridge. Any questions on bringing things back, ask away.

 

What is the best way to smuggle a kilo of crack into Canada?
