Vehicles
To be eligible for importing into Canada, vehicles have to meet customs and Transport Canada requirements.
Customs restrictions
Under customs law, import restrictions apply to most used or second-hand vehicles that are not manufactured in the current year.
To find out about customs restrictions and the exceptions that apply, read our pamphlet called Importing a Vehicle Into Canada. You can get a copy from any of our customs offices or by calling our National Distribution Centre at 1-800-959-2221.
Transport Canada restrictions
Transport Canada restrictions apply to vehicles that are less than 15 years old, and to buses built on or after January 1, 1971. If you're thinking about importing such a vehicle, be sure that it meets the Transport Canada import requirements or that it can be modified to meet their requirements after you import it. Not all vehicles from the United States can be imported into Canada.
Note
You usually cannot import vehicles sold in countries other than the United States into Canada.
If you've acquired a vehicle from the United States, you can find out if your vehicle can be imported by contacting:

Remember that Transport Canada defines a vehicle as any vehicle that is capable of being driven or drawn on roads, by any means other than muscular power exclusively, but does not run exclusively on rails. Trailers such as recreational, camping, boat, horse, and stock trailers are considered vehicles, as are wood chippers, generators, and any other equipment mounted on rims and tires. Before importing your vehicle, call Transport Canada to determine if the vehicle qualifies for importing. Finally, if your vehicle meets both customs and Transport Canada requirements, it may also be subject to provincial or territorial taxes. If you need more information, contact the motor-vehicle authority in your province or territory. |
