Should I Buy a Vehicle in the U.S.?

Buying a car or other vehicle in the U.S. and importing it to Canada can save you $1000’s of dollars. However, there are many factors you should consider before making your decision, including:

  • The cost of the identical vehicle in Canada;
  • The Canada / U.S. exchange rate;
  • Which vehicles have the lowest import duties and taxes;
  • A calculation of duties, taxes and fees;
  • Repair and Modification requirements;
  • Will your vehicle comply with Federal & Provincial import requirements?; and
  • Will your warranty be honoured in Canada?

Our US Auto Import Guide was created as a one stop resource, offering you valuable information on Vehicle Duties, Taxes and Fees and Vehicle Import Requirements, as well as our US Vehicle Import Checklist and a List of Vehicles that can be Imported to Canada from the US.
