Importing a Car from New York to Canada
A car can be imported as either a temporary import or for permanent entry. Temporary import is suitable for customers who are living in a specific location for a time, e.g. with a temporary job, a student in education, etc.
The regulations around temporary import mean that the vehicle may not be sold in Canada. If you don’t already own the vehicle to be imported, the car must change ownership in the US. We can guide you through this, as well as the process for permanent entry.
If the car is entering NYC to Canada and is not expected to leave, permanent entry is needed. Clearance must be obtained for crossing the border, and a tax payment will be due, along with the appropriate paperwork being completed. We can handle all this for you, and we’ll look to keep the costs as low as possible – tax costs can be reduced as determined by various personal factors.
You’ll find it straightforward to ship a car from New York to Canada.
